Good evening,

I had several requests for the pattern of the last house I made. I was able to sit down tonight and compiled my pattern into a 5 page printable .pdf file.

A video can be view here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-SAlcL ... e=youtu.be

There are a few things to note:

The patterns for both parts of the house, the dog house, fence, and base are all on the pages. I also included the pic of my repro for reference.

Unfortunately there are a few things I winged that I did not make in the computer, and I already put the house away in storage, but I think they are easy things to figure out.

Not included:
1. The size of the bottom piece of corrugation that runs around the bottom of the house.
2. The over hang above the front door.
3. The size of the wooden door step that is cut out of square dowel.
4. The size of the 4 wooden fence posts also cut out of square dowel.

*** special note, I made the pattern from a photo so standard size doors and window mullions may not fit. I hand cut all my own and don't own any originals to check it with, so you may want to adjust those accordingly***

*** special note #2, there is a curtain that goes behind the bottom half of the front door on the original that I didn't include in my repro. It's a little piece of paper with a pattern on it. Pete offers this for sale. He made copies off an original he owns.***

You can purchase the Coco, the dog figure, trees, door curtain, and almost all other supplies from Pete for a very close replica of the original.

I think that about covers it. If you would like a copy of the pattern (for personal use only and not for resale) you can reach me at BrainBgood@gmail.com and I will be happy to email you the .pdf file.

Thanks
-Brian :)

P.S. for those of you I already promised the pattern to, I will send it out in the morning. :)

Hi Brian - It is so generous of you to take the time and effort to produce the pattern for this beauty! Very much appreciated! The deep blue color on this and unique double building design make it a must-build! Thx again my friend!

John
