SketchUp provides a leg up for DIY home repair

Buying a home can sometimes feel more like buying potential than buying a dream (what were the former owners thinking, merging the living room and dining room, anyway? And whose idea was that indoor sandbox?). So we couldn’t help but perk up when our friends at Housblogs.net posted recently that Google has acquired SketchUp and plans to make the design and rendering tool available for free. Communities are already popping up to share ideas, tips and inspiration, which is just what you’ll need to tackle those DIY projects with a professional zeal.
