Greetings to all...

I guess the Ten Cent City houses are one of my favorites...(it's a tossup with the Pack-O-Fun series)...they're small, easy to make, display and store...this one was inspired by a tiny, fuzzy image in one of those country living/decorating magazines...

I'll post a picture of the completed house later...stay tuned...

Howard...

Update...09-20-2022...CHAPTER FOUR...2022...

This one is finished...hope I can find another design that is doable and fits on the 2" x 4" base...perhaps I'll just reverse the pattern and change the color...

Another one for the series...it was inspired by a craftsman bungalow in a neighborhood here in Jacksonville...

I have a few more "Ten Cent City" houses in the works but they will probably have to wait until January...stay tuned...

Greetings to all...

Time for a new "Ten Cent City" house...this is actually the same pattern as a previous house...but I've made some rough sawn wood graphics for the sides...The graphics remind me of those "Pineville" houses Ted referenced on his site under the "WWII" History section...I'll repost the pattern again shortly...and a link to the PDF for the rough sawn graphics...

Howard...
