Unfortunately I forgot how to post to the forum. I struggled just getting them up on Fotki. Edited by Lou, Nov 4 2009, 05:17 PM.

Where did you see a picture of the pond? I'll see if I can add a picture of the house and pond to the Fotki post. OK It's there, so now you can see the relationship to the house and the barn. What is not shown is the other four outbuildings. One being a glass blowing studio that my wife designed and was using prior to our sons being born. Dan I still need to make a series of vertical dividers so I can access the crates like slide out drawers. Some of them that hold plumbing fittings are pretty heavy. Ken and Chuck. I always knew there were disbelievers on this forum. I notice no word from Ken or Bryan as of yet regarding the cleanliness of the work bench. Another group of disbelievers? GO YANKEES AND PHILS!

But I left a few forum members speechless it seems. Now for my next group of photos I will show them what I am working on next. Stay tuned.

The house dates from 1885 and there are six and a half acres of nature that is trying to beat me down. For the most part nature is winning. Then again I have my place in NYC which half of it I rent out and that is another obligation that takes up my time. So hopefully you guys realize i don't have a lot of time left over to devote to modeling. That's why I like coming here and seeing and commenting on all the great builds by master builders and also the younger talent I see on this forum developing.

Hey, that's it, I am headed your way for the summer. I hope you have strong pipes in and out of all your toilets. We'll fish in the early morning and then you and will build new models, and then I will be more than happy to get some glass blowing lessons. Perfect.

I do believe we're beginning to see the Softer Side of Lou here...... You really do have your hands full, but the satisfaction of staying ahead of an old house is very rewarding. And it looks like you've got enough room the host the First Annual Model Builders' Forum Picnic. Chester & Virgil will even have some ducks to shoot at. Great job, Lou.
