    Anything special for Christmas 2022?

    We built my nephew's daughter this dollhouse. It took several weeks to paint and assemble. As an example, every roof shingle is glued on one at a time and the valley cuts are individually custom cut to fit.

    Now that you have a good resumé piece, maybe you'd like to come out here and work on some trim we need to replace? I can use someone handy with a jigsaw.


    Truly, it's a work of art. You have a lucky great-niece.

    Oh 100%. The shingle work became tedious but the total project was a blast.

    Is your trim from a kit, ready cut, and just needs paint and glue?? I may be your man.

    100% joking. (but with respect for the effort and end result!)

    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
