Around Back

This is the landscaping I've done on the back side of Mike's house.


The house is 4 inches tall and 3 1/2 inches wide. It is sitting on a 5" x 7" picture frame base. The wiring will be under the house with a switch so I can turn the lights on and off.


I'm going to add pilings around the sea wall and shorten the chimney. I guess it will be another day or so before I can say I'm finished.

I started this project on August 1st. I am proud to say that even with a few distractions it is almost complete! I can also say that everything you see was completely handmade. :D

I love this little 1:144 scale. It is so much fun to see how small you can make things. My next project will be quarter scale. I sure my eyes will appreciate working on something so BIG!

Back at Mike's

Work has resumed on Mike's little house. The roofers still haven't shown up, but the hardscape has begun and the landscapers are ready to go.

Hope you have a nice day!

Tiled Patio?

One of the good things about cleaning up my workroom was finding these colorful 1/8" tiles. Do you think they are too large for this project?

I haven't glued them down yet. What do you think? Should I put them all around the pool?

A Fountain By The Pool

I started making a tiled fountain along the swimming pool this morning. I'm going to add "water" and plants later.

The decking I bought is the perfect scale for this house. I'm not sure how I'll finish that yet...

Hope you have a great day!
