I'm excited by the windows too, I think in the end they will make this project unique, and as you may have already seen, I am drawn to the unique. <br /><br />I can't wait to see more of my progress either! :0) Its a little like playing the lottery. . . Will it really come together? lol. I'm playing Wheel... Of...Fortune!!!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788114419636217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-77596610902971337562015-04-14T16:04:26.461-07:002015-04-14T16:04:26.461-07:00Hey Vivian.

And to think, this project is SMALLER than the one I originally thought I wanted to do. One thing that seems to be part of my DNA is that I tend to do things Big, and this is true to form. I know I will love every minute of it, but I will admit to wishing already that I had started smaller! <br /><br />I'm excited about getting to the base detail, I have some fun ideas that I hope will turn out the way I imagine them. I do feel like the structural work is not all that exciting to see, though I actually enjoy doing it a lot. It will all start coming together soon, and will make a huge difference when it all does. I am excited about the future. <br /><br />Thanks much! <br /><br />Doug Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788114419636217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-89515717264728325932015-04-14T15:49:46.916-07:002015-04-14T15:49:46.916-07:00Hi Pepper.

I do keep plugging away, and I have already amazed myself at the things I have been able to do that I have never done before just by plugging away. Thanks for the encouragement! <br /><br />I love that color too. I may find it creeping into other parts of the project! :0)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788114419636217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-32350825019957758382015-04-14T11:27:20.876-07:002015-04-14T11:27:20.876-07:00Hi Doug!

I see that your are moving forwards step by step with your wonderful and special steampunk house. <br />I love the flat chestnut paint on the Aluminium too, it has such a warm 'metal' color. I love that bay window on the first floor, it's awesome :)!<br />Again I have learned something of you about building the structure of a house.<br />I can't wait to see more of your progress.<br />I wish you a nice week.<br />IlonaIlonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325745983964748534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-66851320599222407412015-04-14T03:01:13.157-07:002015-04-14T03:01:13.157-07:00Hi Doug, it's lovely to see a progress report!...Hi Doug, it's lovely to see a progress report! I know you might feel you don't have a lot to show, but really, it's all coming along really well! I love the colour of the metal, it really does help to carry the colour of the wonderful upstairs windows down through the build. The base looks very interesting, and I'm dying to see how you work that! Seeing the manor in the picture, really shows the sheer size of your project, wow! Every little bit done is always takes you a bit further forward. It's looking brilliant, and I'm eager to see your next progress report! :)<br />All the best for now<br />VivianVivian Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294995670302754968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-61577436491466421052015-04-14T00:03:32.482-07:002015-04-14T00:03:32.482-07:00It's hard to keep the momentum up when a lot o...It's hard to keep the momentum up when a lot of the work is structural but, as parts emerge, you begin to see what the final design will be. If you're not standing still, you're moving forward right? I love the flat chestnut paint on the aluminium. It looks very warm and rich. You're doing well Doug, keep it up =0)Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777217200629685759noreply@blogger.com
