first wash

Just read your caption and had to laugh! Your plumber had to be a man(no offense meant to the guys here in the forum), but I've gotten remarks throughout the entire build of my nieces house about how "things" look or that I must be crazy to invest that much time into something for "a child that'll probably rip it up." Given she's four, but we all gathered tonight myself, parents, sister and brother-in-law and my nieces. Was so amusing b/c she opened it up and while I had already made points for the Darth Vader cookie jar, the non-stop chatterbox was stunned speechless with the house. :xmas_tree: My point being however amongst this rambling, that you take the typical mindset of *most* males and they just don't get it, thus the amusing comments. But I had my proof this evening in a little girls' eyes and smile of how not crazy we all are to do this... whether for ourselves, or for others. :laughbounce:

Btw, love the thatch! The Tiffani that's been waiting to be built in my closet has been crying out to me to be made into a thatched cottage... Only hope I may do her justice. lol
