Good morning,
I hope everyone on the gulf coast are making arrangements to stay safe this week.
I was really intrigued by the large pink house that Pete posted here. So much so, I decided to try to build my own version of the house.
Here is an "in progress" Photo.

Cool beans Lee. How do you derive the dimensions if I may ask? The base on all the Giants are the same, 9" wide x 5-1/2" deep by 1-1/8" tall. That would be a good way to calculate the dimensions. Looks great. If you need some exact measurements please let me know. I'm going to tackle the Big Brother Blue to this house. Looking forward to watching the progress. I have extra front doors for this one already cut if you want one? The original color of the door is a light beige.

It's going to be really nice watching these 2 houses being built. The door on the pink house is especially nice.

Hi everyone. Thank you for your kind comments. My house is not going to be a faithful reproduction of the pink house. I suppose it would be better to say it is inspired by the pink house. I'm still only using supplies I have on hand. I will post a couple of more pictures later today.

Ok, my interpretation of the pink house is finished. I apologize I didn't take many pictures when I was building it. I call it the house of six gables.
It is not a reproduction by any means, I was just inspired by all the cool angles.
