It's not rocket surgery
I finally finished it... At this rate, no one would ever hire me as a building contractor. It took me 6 months to get this done! It was built for a friend who will install it at a layout at a retirement home in Ottawa.

It is a Laser Structures wood laser-cut kit. Each baton has to be glued on individually! That is what took the most time (Although I say 6 months, it really was about a week of "full" evenings to get it done). The windows were the next most difficult, as there is all kinds of tiny trim parts, plus interior and exterior framing to add.

Additional pics

Here are some more pics - interior shots, and some of a chimney I will obviously have to fix! :eek:ops: It doesn't look that bad in person! i scratched the little wood stove and the barrels and crates inside the store room. I also built the workbench in the picture above. The wheels, ladder, and chain on the floor are from the junk parts bin.
