building all the "pack-o-fun" houses...it is fun, too!...

greetings...

i started the one called the "green house"...but mine will probably not have a green finish...

note...the dimensions on parts of the original pattern do not add up...so i made my own patterns based on the dimensions i felt were correct...i also made the chimney a separate piece...more later...

my very best regards...

good afternoon...

while my internet is alive and working i thought i'd go ahead and post the pattern i made for the "red house"...

just like the "green house" the dimensions didn't add up correctly...

i did make a slight change to the number of windows and the arrangement...i also am going to ad a small chimney...

my very best regards...howard...

greetings to all...

it's been a busy day with lots of shop time for me...now the fun part...finishing and all the details...

base measures 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" x 5/8" thick...overall height, including the base, is just a little over 3"...

my very best regards...howard...

greetings...

here is my pattern for the "brown house" based on the dimensions from the original pack-o-fun magazine...it's so much like the church...probably could have used the same basic plan for both...just changed the windows around...

i've got the green house and red house in the works...waiting for the primer to dry...

wishing you all a happy thanksgiving...

my very best regards...howard...

Howard, thanks for all the updates. It would be fun to see several folks build some of these just to see the different approaches to finishing, etc.

Hi! I am finishing up the yellow house maybe before Thanksgiving, but most lightly after. These houses are lots of fun to make!!

good afternoon...

here is the completed "green house"...not too much to say about the construction and finish details since all the houses in the group are so similar...base measures about 3" x 4 1/2" x 1/2" thick...total height, including base is 3 1/2"...

still working on the others in the group...

my very best regards...howard...
