An uber dolls house!

Did you make it? It looks great.

I did indeed, and the feedback has been good so far.

I'm trying to figure a price for it. I'm thinking somewhere over $500. It contains $150 worth of supplies and took me about 2 days.

Very nice!

Now we know what became of that injurious sheet of plywood!

Bingo!

Will you continue with FF&E (fixtures, furniture and equipment)?
I believe you can purchase doll house furniture as model kits.

Looks like fun.

Gilliatt

Yeah, it was quite fun, although the hinged section of roof took a few goes to get right.

I'm leaving the furniture out at this stage. There is a place that imports wooden dolls' house furniture and sells a complete set for $60, so I'll be talking to them so I can offer them furnished if need be.

He sure didn't vote for Dubbya!

Are you quite sure, I thought most squiggly things voted the same

Here's the latest creation from the workshop - a three-storey dolls' house:



1 metre wide and 1.2 tall.

The line on the roof is actually a hinged section to allow kids to use the third floor.

Beautiful, is there anything you can't do?

Are you declaring it to be Sphagetti monster week Sir?

Paul, what happened to your new avatar; I rather liked him

Wouldn't that be considered a mohawk?
If one were to equate that style to a fish, it might be called a "striper"


Gilliatt

Hum, I always just considered it the "victim cut"....since you always see the hair cut on police walls and on Americas most wanted

Speaking of stripers....

I got homesick for my old one. Though i am considering my shed as a suitable avatar.



What do you reckon?

Oh god! I've just remembered you're in Fla!

You should see my business card.

Gorillas tamed, lions neutered...

I got homesick for my old one. Though i am considering my shed as a suitable avatar.



What do you reckon?

Yes, the shed would be a bloody excellent avatar.

[Jesterhead]

anyone here knows of the band Amorphis? I am seeing them live November 5th, the day the new christmas beer enters the streets, going to be a good night.

What do you reckon?

I've always liked the wildness of the English countryside and the shed looks very cozy. If it were standing down my way, it would have a whole family living in it

Oh god! I've just remembered you're in Fla!

I notice you don't offer to neuter gorillas

anyone here knows of the band Amorphis? I am seeing them live November 5th, the day the new christmas beer enters the streets, going to be a good night.

Never heard of them; I'm getting nervous about bands now with all the punk stuff out there...

Never heard of them, but I just watched Silent Waters on Youtube.

If that's an example of their music, I envy you going to see them.

I thought it was Very nice paul, until I saw the doll's house

Are they fronted by a busty redheaded rock chick by any chance?

Brilliant!

That's got you, hasn't it? Any more of this and I'll have to start believing Dawkins' invention of memetics was a good idea.

I just checked the group out, yes, the lead singer has a nice voice...a little drowned out by the music.

Have you noticed how many rock groups are our age now...You know, somehow the whole grung look doesn't work at 50 the way it does at 20
It wouldn't really bother me that they were distant cousins...I just really wouldn't want to hang out with a gorilla that had just lost his...

I thought it was Very nice paul, until I saw the doll's house

But Pauls shed has a certain ambiance...a feel of history...and a chair
No, but it has a dude with pig tails...

I still like the shed Paul; though, I must confess, I'm starting to become attached to Frankenstein.

I know what you mean about the aging rock groups. Keith Ricards has released extracts from his autobiography "A Prune's Progress through Sex, Drugs and Music" or something like that.

Paul,

I agree with Soundoff; I do like the shed, but I miss the head.
Perhaps the Bride of Frankenstein could take a photo of you (your head primarily) peering around the jamb of the doorway.
This way we may enjoy the best of both worlds.

Well, according to what Keef said about Mick, at least you're spared the kind of envy he had to bear.

[Jesterhead]

haha unfortunately no, it's a hairy guy with dreadlocks.

I just checked the group out, yes, the lead singer has a nice voice...a little drowned out by the music.

yea he does, I saw them once this summer and they were awesome live. I also wanted to see them two years ago, they played in the morning but I overslept and missed them.

Never heard of them, but I just watched Silent Waters on Youtube, If that's an example of their music, I envy you going to see them..

Silent Waters is one of my favorite songs by them, they have just released a new album called Skyforger which I hope they play a lot of numbers of.

Now that you've mentioned Keith Richards, I've began to wonder if the rockers don't start out grungy and then get into music
I kind of like Gilliatts idea of you at the doorway of your shed!

Great idea for Pauls avatar...Has my name had another incarnation...It does fit me!

Well, according to what Keef said about Mick, at least you're spared the kind of envy he had to bear.

So did he go into their intimate relationship; I always heard that Keith and Mick were an item before Mick and Bowie started hitting it

haha unfortunately no, it's a hairy guy with dreadlocks.

Old hairy dude with dreads...Don't like the dreads; but I guess it kind of makes him appeal to a larger fanbase. Still, great voice. I do wonder what it is like with some of these fellows after 40, running around, touring different countries, eating all different cuisines...I'd never manage it!
