Thanks , It took me like I said a little over 100 + hrs working on it on and off . WHAT I Didn't say was I had a stroke 5 months before I started it . I had a stroke in Oct 2016 . Went through 3 months rehab to learn to walk and talk . And just 8 months later , I had 2nd stroke , so I went through 3 more months of rehab . LUCKLY both times the EMS got me to the Hospital within about 1 hour so they could give me some type of medicine that can help reverse a stroke sometimes . Can't remember what you call it . But I built this house using only my right side most of the time . Yes Sir , Member for a few years know of the Sons of Confederate Veterans . Also member of the Mechanized Cavalry 2nd battalion Company B. That's the motorcycle riders . You may know that , Some people don't ! And yes I love it . VERY Proud of my family member's and other's that lost there life for a war that most NEVER even knew what they were fighting for . These men are and will always be veterans . AND this sorry A55 country is turning there backs on these men by removing monuments everywhere . MAKES ME SO UPSET ! All it takes is 1 person (idiot) to complain and other idiot's think the world will end if they don't remove them ! The bad is these people that are doing this , know nothing about the war . I go to ALOT of meetings all over the state . I heard a young kids (protestors) saying 3 weeks ago at one , that Robert E. Lee was a Nazi . HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE ! I have been cussed and called every name you can think of ! And the WORST is call me a Racist ! I have many friends of color and they are some in the SCV and THEY get called racist ? Can't fix STUPID ! Our camp was the 1st camp to raise a confederate flag in NC . Right beside I-95 . Raise it @ 7:00 pm one evening and it was on the fake news at 6:00am the next morning . Had complaints filed by SOME hate groups bye 10:00 am
Wow! while going through two strokes
Hats off to you! With that you REALLY excelled!
Taking the statues down really frosts my boys! To me whoever was involved should be in jail for vandalizing a historic object PERIOD!
Got into a conversation with a young man when all this started. Told him it's history! It happened! Read, learn, when you have kids give them books let them learn! His jaw dropped & he just got a blank look. If these people the statues depict offend you Ok fine. Show your kids the statues & teach them!! OK slavery was a bad thing show the statues and explain why, read books LEARN use them as a learning tool! It's history being depicted learn from it!!!!!!!
Hey, was going to pass on this tid bit if you or others decide to build a house or buy kit or miniature furniture. Always ask to open the box. Look at the pieces, the die cut edges should be fairly square not too rounded. If the edges are rounded enough to raise the grain it'll be a pain.
Also, if you get into it big, shop for your tools! Won't mention the name but there's a company that makes tools for miniature builders & model RR guys that has a miniature table saw for over $100. If you go to Harbor Freight you can buy the same
exact saw for around $39. Well, not exact, the companies is gray & HFs is orange. If you really enjoy this stuff there is money in it! Paid a couple months rent selling Chippendale dressers I template off a kit. Piece of basswood, salvaged brass, wire for handles, left over stain = $129 in the early 90s.
