good afternoon...

a few pix of pre-assembly and some parts...

trees shown are 1" tall...just part of the landscape...gold bases will be removed...

card stock shutter material is shown without glitter...

still a little work to do on lanterns...front porch is all finished...

the base does not show sidewalk...but there will be one...it's part of the house assembly...

my very best regards...

Howard

Awesome Job.

Is the big window over the door homemade?

Any chance for a close up of the lights.

Again, Out standing..
