Lee, you did an AWESOME job! You have so many great details in there! I didn't notice how cool that porch awning curve was before! The fence came out great, I look fwd to seeing more use of the punch you used. If thats your first house, you would never know it!

Lee, sorry I was just looking back through some of your other posts, and LOVE the church you built. You have really out done yourself with this build!

Well Done!...the fence is the perfect accent...and ties it all together...your lighting of the snow base material makes it look like there are snow flakes falling, too...now, get busy on another creation!...

my very best regards...howard...

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I am working on an idea now for a house with a definite Spanish or Southwestern look based on a drawing of a 1920's California house. More soon.

Lee, I was trying to find some images for a different project and I saw this house. I have never seen it before - not that it registered in my brain anyway; it is incredible. All the details are so beautiful and the workmanship is impeccable. It doesn't look like my houses inside.

Thank you Lucy for your kind words. My life has been crazy the last few years and I haven't been able to build anything new. However, I have recently moved to a new house that has a room off of the garage that I'm going to convert into a studio. I hope to be building again soon. Search under my name, I have posted some of my other houses here as well.

You are a true "craftsman!" the house is just wonderful, and the details really make it. It's so homey...makes me want to move right in.
