I have been hard at work the last 2 nights rebuilding this 3 story house. I was just about all in pieces. They had 2 different people try their hand at repairing it, so I had 3 times the work to get it straight. Even if assembled right it is not very stable, so of course I modified it. It is very stable and strong now and very large. This is a commision job and there is no way I could get my normal labor rate on this but I think I will have a very happy little customer.

You will really make a little person very happy! Did not see what you had to start with but the end result is very nice and clean looking.

Is there no limit to your skills?

Say, I'm planning to have an addition built on my home, are you up for the job?

Nice job on the house, Tom! Not too many people can say they rebuilt a 3 story house in 2 days. I'm sure the "homeowner" will love you for it.

I of course forgot to take a before pic, but suffice to say a large box of pieces was involved.
