Gamma's house

Here is a picture of the house Gamma and I built over Easter. It is in our back yard.

My wife and I also bought a piece of furniture for our bedroom, which holds CDs and has a flat area on top upon which our CD player just barely fits. I was shocked to discover upon unpacking it that it came pre-assembled. Our CD rack, I mean, not the house. The house we had to assemble, believe me. I had the walls 75% up when my wife asked whether I was sure the roof would fit, with the overhang and all, back there by the neighbor's house. Of course I had not considered that, but it happened to just fit.

The wee hussette? Totally sweet. Will it ever be available as a rental get-away? Can you queue me up near the top of the list?

okay, help me: the house was like the worst IKEA furniture ever, right, in that there was a lot of assembling and cursing and some funny tools to misplace, but you didn't start at the "buy wood" stage, did you? because if you did i'll be in so much awe of you that i'll implode. if you started at the "buy pre-measured wood with directions page" i'll still be in awe, because it's impressive, but i'd like to keep it together. kit or from scratch?

In fact, I planted the trees 30 years ago when I was nearly 17, and logged them last year (during a full moon) and only recently cut them up into lumber, with an adze and various hand saws.

Eh, kit. Kit. That was bad enough. Yet lots of fun, too.

It's the least you could do after she saved your butt at the restaurant the other day. I bet that house was cheaper then replaceing thier white leather sofa.

No fooling, I probably saved 80% at least. This is what you get when you cover for your dad, kids!

Yeah, you need to build a little house for everyone.
