That's It For House 1

Remember You
Don't have to Keep any of these Color's that I used
If you want to change a color or Flood Fill with a Pattern
Go back to that Layer and re load that .sels from Disk for that
And Flood fill with Pattern or Color Also Don't Merge Your
Houses till you are sure where you would Like things to Go
Like if you want to put some chairs on the Porch

Or anything on your House
Don't merge that so you will be able to add things there

Ok! Let's Say You Like your House and you have added

What You wanted to it You are Now Going to RED X

Your Background layer Out and Click On Your First Layer

Above the Background Layer And Right Click and Go to

Merge Visible Now you will have Two Layers Your

Background Layer and Your House 1

Which You Can rename *House1*

Click On Next to Continue to House 2

*************

ON TO HOUSE 2
