You never cease to amaze me Howard! One project after another! I like your attention to detail - the corrugated cardboard stack to attach the house to the base and the extra detail on the windows! Looking forward, as always, to seeing the finished project!

I have never seen a house like this anywhere. What a cool design. I like the modifications with the window panes, the step, and the fence. It will be more visually interesting.

So nice. The coloring is so beautiful. I may have asked before, but I don't think I have. Do you always round the corners a little bit? Is that to prevent them from getting bent?

I must admit that I did not see the potential in the old house except that it is an interesting design. This is a beautiful inspiration.

Sharp eye!...yes...I clip off all corners...just a little bit...with a fingernail cliper...corners are the first thing to take a "hit"...i just take the "hit" early...it works for me!...
