Why would anybody bid on a house until the very end? Doesn't that just run up the price?

This really is a great house with remarkable colors.

Wow Brian, you're on this project! I would love to build this house as well. Would love to see your plans/template here when you're finished. Hey, I got an idea everyone-- how about we have a "putzing bee" for those of us who wanna take it on and see what kind of variations we come up with? Anyone interested? I'M IN! :mrgreen:

Holiday Cheers everyone,

Will~

Hey Will, that sounds fun! I can make patterns fairly quick on my computer...its the rest of the project that will take me a while....LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm a little rusty, haven't built a house in a few years, but will give it a go when time permits. I look fwd to seeing yours and others takes on it as well!!!
I heard back from the seller a second time, they are super nice, and said they didnt know about the forum here. Im going to write back and see if they'll share a few more dimensions with us to get a more exact pattern. I'll share my findings. :)

(from seller)

Hi Brian :)

I'll have to check that forum out when I have time.

Okay, the Width of the Blue Building in the Front, that has the Porch & the Front Door, is 2 5/8" wide ( NOT including the roof in that measurement ) & 1 5/8" Deep.

The Dog House is 1 3/8" Wide & 1 3/8" Deep. Again, Not including the Roof, just the actual dog house.

The Building towards the back is 3 1/8" Wide & 1 7/8" Deep, also Not including the roof..

All my Measurements are 'Approximate'....

I hope this information helps you out....

Thank you again for your interest & hope you have a nice evening!

DP

Well, I had some time over the past three days, house sitting for my brother while he is on a cruise. (Im a little jealous!) So I got out my building supplies Friday and cranked this out. Still got to get out my coconut making supplies. But it was fun making a house again, havent made one in 2 1/2 years. :)

Congrats to whoever won this one, I saw the auction ended a little bit ago. Its truly a gem!!
