I believe this is your best work yet…(but your tunnel/tree stand will be hard to beat)…and I also know that Ralphie Parker would feel right at home… :lol: …keep the neighborhood growing…how about something in stucco?…

Good suggestion, Howard. Actually, the first house-from-the-'hood project, I gave that a stucco-like finish:

Uncertain if this was a Sears house, but certainly they catalogued "four-square" type home designs. This was actually based on a house down the street from me.

I don't recall the exact stucco recipe I used, but I suspect it was something you suggested on an earlier project. I seem to recall having mixed a small amount of fine model railroad ballast material into some craft paint...maybe.
