Thanks Ken, I hope it turns out like I am thinking it should.

By the way, the three posts arrived today, they look great and should work perfectly

Still working on the bracing, hopefully will finish up tonight, then I can paint the inside black.

Andy,
It is always enjoyable to watch you put your builds together. The way you go about your business goes a long way in removing some of the mystery and intimidation for new-comers to scratch building (and even more seasoned modelers as well). Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the kind words Steve.

I have added the brick and block foundation. I will touch up the white spots and add mortar after I cut out the openings for the doors and windows.

I recut the door and window openings out. I decided to assemble the main walls before I did the mortar.
