Drum roll please.....

Since Nutti is slacking off ( jk :p )I figured I would go head and start it. So what I want to know is how many houses do you have and which ones? I don't mean what you have built, but total in your place of residence. Now I know for some of us this my be a little scary to actually see it all written out but think of the envy! Even if you only have a house or two go ahead and list it that way if someone else wants to build it they know where to look. :D

Since I am asking this of you I will go ahead and start....

1. The Sunshine cottage - I don't know the name of the house of who built it. ( it is the white house soon to have yellow window boxes, hanging baskets and planter pots all with yellow flowers, hence the name)

2. The Glencroft also know as Mr and Mrs Santa's place

3. The Country Victorian ( the purple house ) It does not have a name yet.

4. La Petite a modified grand room box

5. The Tiffany it is upposed to be an elf bakery but only time will tell.

In the box=

6. The Sweet heart was bought to make and sell but after making one for my MIL I think I may keep it. :lol: ( like I could ever sell one :lol: )

7. 2 Hickory Ridge Cabins the boys will probably get one and I will have to figure out what to do with the other one ( I am supposed to sell it but we shall see. I don't have a log cabin for me! :o )

8. The Tennyson to be a 30's house

9. The Haunted House to be a astone cottage I think

Then there is the Laurel and Primrose which are my daughters so I don't know if they count. ;)

You don't have to be this detailed if you don't want. Like I told Nutti, now I can tell dh " I know people who have more houses than me and their husbands lived through it." ;)

Can you believe I forgot the tin house I just won ( but technically don't have yet) an HO scale house ( I'll have to get a pic up) and I think another HO house in the second lot I won.

Remember now, I'm just getting started on this hobby thing so I don't have near the inventory. Anyway,

1 Victorian Cottage Jr. was the first.

2 The Storybook Cottage. I think this was a Duracraft kit, but was mfg in 1984. I sold this to my sister for a charity auction.

3 The Laurel. I just sold this through ebay, so it is leaving me soon.

4 The Sierra Log cabin. Still in the kit, waiting for me, calling my name.

5 The Travel Trailer, also shouting for my attention.

6 The Whitney. An old dollhouse kit given to me by an even older friend.

Um, Melanie, I have two residences.

OK, here goes:

In the primary house:

1. Victorian Townhouse-built

2. Tennyson-built

3. Van Buren-built

4. Wildwood Stable-built

5. McKinley-being built

6. Watermill house-being built

7. Willowcrest-not built

8. Rosedale-not built

9. Allison-not built

10. Beacon Hill-not built

11. Canterbury-not built

12. Washington-not built

13. Franklin-not built

14. Granville-not built

15. Vineyard Cottage-not built

16. Country House-not built

17. Very large dura-craft house-not built-this is under Zack's bed, and I can't remember the name of it, but it's an old house no longer made.

18. Cabin, 1/144th scale, can't remember it's name-not built

19. House, 1/144th scale, can't remember it's name-not built

20. Greenleaf Village-not built (1/4 scale)

21. Winters Mansion-built for me by Ruby (1/4 scale)

22. Farmhouse-can't remember it's name-got it from Ruby and built by Ruby-1/144th scale

In the secondary house:

23. Emerson Row-built

24. Columbian-built

25. Orchid-built

26. Westville-built

27. Newport-being restored

28. Pierce-being restored

29. Creekside Cabin-being built

30. Pine Mountain Village-not built (1/4 scale)

31. Duracraft Old Towne-not built (1/4 scale)

Hmmm. Seems like I'm missing something ... not sure.

Of the above, the Orchid and the Columbian don't really belong to me, but their owners haven't retrieved them so I may be stuck with them. The Emerson Row currently being built is intended for my brother's daughter, and the McKinley being built is intended for someone as well.

Ah ha! I am missing something!

45. Jimmy's haunted house-primary residence-built

Ooops. Forgot another one.

46. Wildwood Stable-unbuilt-pirmary residence

Holly just reminded me of another one:

47. Travel trailer-primary residence-unbuilt

LOL Peggy! I'm not that long into this either. I've only been building for 3 years, or it will be 3 years on Christmas day ...

There are others that we have built, but Melanie wanted only the ones that we have ... I probably won't keep all that I have, except for the 1/4 scale and the 1/144th scale stuff, all of that will be kept. The Winters Mansion is a 1/4 scale house that I bought and couldn't figure out how to build, and Ruby was kind enough to build it for me since I couldn't even figure out what the parts were, and the 1/144th scale house that I got which is made by Ruby was a trade for something else that I had. Those I am keeping too.

LOL Melanie! Umm, no. Jimmy's says we're saving them to build in our retirement years. Or for our grandchildren. Or something. If you read the titles of the houses, you probably noted that most are old ones no longer made, which has seemed to become our passion.

Tracy might be taking names for donations, 'cuz I know she's got me beat on horded houses.

The Haunted House went to its new home a week ago Monday. Keep in mind I live in a 900 sq ft house, so I have no room to keep built ones. If the company name isn't in parentheses it's a Greenleaf or Corona kit :lol:

Built: The Cambridge (Dura-Craft)

The Glencroft "Sprig of Holly" pub

In the box:

1:24 scale: The Fairfield (2, I want to bash them together)

The Fantasy Villa (Wood Craft)

1:48 scale: The Greenleaf Town

1:12 scale: The Newberg (Dura-Craft)

The Buttercup

The Sugarplum

The Willowcrest

The travel trailer

The McKinley (next on the list)

The Cheltenham

You did just want houses, not the porch kit, the various HOM & Chrysnbon furniture & accessory kits...

It feels soooo good to see others lists!!!

Mine is fairly short compared with some I think:

1 Chantilly (Greenleaf)

2 General stor turned into my husband's bicycle shop (Real good toys)

3. Sugarplum cottage, an ongoing project at my MIL's house so that I have something to do while there and not needing to pack up and down to have it with me (Greenleaf)

4. 1 Primrose (Greenleaf) turned into a ahunted school

5. 1 Primrose in the makings of a modern office building, a comission from my BIL

6. 1 Primrose still in its box :lol:

7. A witchy Tower scratch built from own plans

8. An Aster Cottage that will soon be finished for Santa and his family to move in

9. The haunted house that is on its way thanks to the Halloween themed competition

10 An IKEA greenhouse I am slowly building up the inventory for the flower shop, all the furnishing is done, now it only needs filling

11 An artist studio I built from scratch from scrap piexes of wood and old picture frames

Hmmm, I think that that is my list, and then there are those roomboxes and other settings but those are finished and have their places on the walls allready.

Then there is the "wishlist" as well... Perhaps something else to share?

Hugs

Total in place of residence... yikes! Bear in mind that our apartment is maybe 800 square feet, max. Let's do this in order of scale.

2. The hotel-conversion condos, a project that was supposed to be built from Michael's hutches. Started but not decorated.

3. The modern suburban house built by my father. It exists but has no decor.

1:24

4. A different modern suburban house built by my father. Completely furnished, missing a couple of planned accessories.

5. RGT lighthouse keeper's cottage. Not only complete, but already torn apart and redone once. Missing one or two planned accessories for the attic.

6. RGT lighthouse. Complete.

7. Houseworks Colonial bought to rehab. Furnished with extra furniture but not rehabbed one bit yet.

8. RGT Vermont Farmhouse Jr. Mostly assembled and with interior finishes, but needs its trim completed.

14. Vacation home from 1970s (dry fit, haven't decided what to do with it yet)

1:12

15. RGT Victorian Farmhouse Jr. with addition. This was supposed to be my only 1:12 house. Needs its exterior trim and shingles; otherwise mostly complete.

16. American Craft Products San Francisco rowhouse, which was supposed to be my other only 1:12 house. Still in box due to...

17. Batrie cottage bought for rehab and stalled in mid-rehab because of...

I have two residences.

OK, here goes:

<stunned silence>

You're my new hero.

I can understand why you need two residences! Do people look at you funny when you 'splain you have two houses so you have enough room for your houses?

I feel somewhat, um, naked, with my little list. Does it count that I only started building three months ago? :lol:

Completed:

1. Orchid

2. Pierce

3. Haunted House

On the table now:

Lily

In the box:

Beacon Hill

In between the Lily and the Beacon Hill will be four Buttercups (I'm building those for my best friend's four granddaughters). I'm waiting for miniatures.com's big end of year sale to buy all four kits at the same time.

Only three months, and you have three houses actually done? It sounds to me like you're picking up momentum nicely.

I could go faster if I didn't have to sleep. :lol:

Sleep? What's that? :lol:

OK..houses that I have right now...

1. The Columbian - complete

2. The Buttercup- complete

3. The Sweetheart - complete

4. The Jefferson - in progress

5. The Corona Travel Trailer - in box

6. The Orchid - in box

7. The Harrison - in box

I think furniture kits should count for something - esp since I have 5 Avon boxes filled with HOM kits..... :o

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

LOL! I do tell them that, kinda. Most people who know me are used to it now. We have two residences because when we met we both owned houses. After we were married we attempted to sell mine (secondary residence) but it's in the country and unless you're actually on the lake up there, things just don't sell. We rented it for a bit, but when the last tenant moved out and we dropped in excess of $4000 to correct it, I decided never again. Since I hate the city (primary residence) we now compromise and spend weekends in the country. The houses are a couple counties apart, not too far.

Deb: Nice-and impressive 3 in 3 WOW! If you finish the Lily in only 3 months you will deserve a reward. It's taken me 10 months to get to where I am on mine and it still needs a few things done to it. Shoot I had to walk away from it for a month at a time to keep from taking a hammer to the whole thing. LOL
