Model Home?

While Santa has been busy doing his part-time job, the building world enjoys a well deserved shutdown. 

This has meant the progress on my self-build has been limited to deciding on room layout, spotting potential bargains in the sales, and as you may have guess from the picture, creating a three dimensional model of our future home. 

When the big man was handing out craft, coupled with patience and persistence, skills, he forgot about me.  Luckily I think my old man was at the front of the queue. Look at the wonderful masterpiece he has created.

Fashioned from my Son’s supply of cardboard and tape, I think he should be very proud. By using a copy of the drawings, cleverly making the model both lifelike and to the drawing scale.  This model does give a very good impression of what the house will eventually look like.  And an idea of the proportions and how it will sit on site. 

It’s actually a useful tool for seeing things in 3-D and applying ideas to the actual.  Before now I’ve been limited to elevations and my imagination, but now I think as well as being a good thing to show to interested people I have a tool for seeing how the house will actually sit. 

A most definite worthwhile waste of my Dad’s time, which I’m very grateful for.
