Sunday, July 5, 2020 at 1:03PM Mike Schmidt sent these pix in and as much as I wanted to wait till Halloween to show them off, I just couldn’t wait. The distressing of the windows is top notch and the ghost is just too cool. Is it just me, or does the side wall in the middle pic look like a glowing face with two eyes a nose and a mouth?
Thanks Mike

Friday, July 3, 2020 at 2:10PM Rich started off with the Red Insulbrick version of our Small Chicago House. Then he stripped off the stone foundation and made it into a street level storefront and as you can see, it’s an antique shop. Removing the foundation changes the entire character of the building. I like it so much, you can bet I am going to copy the idea. He also added a large glass bay window just packed with merchandise. He scratch-built a full interior and made the roof removable so it can be appreciated. You can’t really tell, but there is a clear false roof to protect the inside from the elements. The shingle work is also really well done. Good job Rich and thanks for sharing.
