Thank you very much Bob and Ken
i always try to add a little more each time to them.
this one took me 2 weeks to build . i just follow a lot of the same steps each time and things seem to go smooth. maybe i will build a few smaller ones again.
this one is probably around 400 lbs.
thanks again
john

Hi John

I would not go smaller I would go bigger then you can rent them out, sometimes called a cottage in the back for rent, also we have a spot in Colordao called Tiny Town and many people pay to walk around and look at what you just made many ,many people .

They have a SMALL railroad but it's not a big deal but the kids (big and small ) love to take a ride.
It's been around long time, when I was a young we took our kids to take a look around and it was over in 10 mins. or so hahahahahaha but they got my 20.oo bucks anyway.

Thanks again Bob. that is a great link. it gives me more ideas.

My father is from Switzerland and he always showed us pictures of miniature cities they had set up in a few parks over there. i think it must of absorbed into my head a little when i was young. then i built real homes for 20 years so i have lots of experience in home building.
thanks Bob
John

Bobj3, I've visited "Tiny Town" a few yrs back. Lots of talent went into building it. It was an enjoyment to see even though when I went by it, it was closed for the season.

Hi Ken
We lived just up the road from TinyTown for about 10 years (Hill Dale Pines) and I would pass it on the way home every day ,one day it burn to the ground but they did rebuild it but it took about a year or two, I did offer to help but they had so many wanting to help rebuild it.(land mark thing)
And the firehouse is 1/4 of mile down the road hahahahaha .
It's was great little place to get a hot dog and a Coke on the way home on a hot day and jump on the train to take the edge off the day.

John,
Ok, you made me look through all those 146 or something photos of all your amazing projects again because I thought I remembered you built a gazebo already! But, I enjoyed looking again and I especially love the waterfall and the rustic arbor and and and.......oh yeah, the playhouse, and your cedar planter puts mine to shame. Great work, I must say!
