You call that a Block House? part 2

More updates on my Block House. I got the flooring done for the 2nd floor. I will need to make a ladder and possible a fire place, like a cast iron stove or something. I want to get the second story walls all done. I also got the beginnings of the framing for the roof. I will start off with the good pictures and work my way down to the other ones.

If anyone is wondering, I cut and glued every single piece together. So the 2x4 you see for the flooring are all cut and fitted. I ended up filling the gaps with elmers glue.

Granted no one will see it, but I think it was fun to build up. I kind of screwed up the framing and made some messed up cuts but it will not be seen from the outside so all is good.

I am showing the template for the roof framing. Once the roof is finished I can cut out and start shingling the entire roof. Because I plan on cutting out the shingles and gluing them one by one it should look good. I had done a 10mm house with shingles for Warmaster, so this should turn out good.

I just placed it for reference. Ignore the fact I do not have the 2nd floor walls all done up, possible later in the day I will get to it.

Well that is all for now, enjoy!

  2. Some of your neighbors may have already had new roofs installed. Ask around and see who was happy with their new roof and the company they used. roofing companies

  4. Urban areas can benefit greatly from landscaping services. Creating areas full of grass, plants and tree canopies helps prevent runoff erosion, provides shade to reduce surface temperatures and reduces noise pollution. Landscaper Wylie TX

  5. When considering a place to live in Budapest I went with SRS (Student Rent Solutions) Budapest, they set me up with a nice flat and a lift from the airport into the city center. The flat (located in the city center) cost a modest 230 euro per month (excluding additional bills such as internet) and was modernly furnished and had a double bed. real estate Budapest
