Thread: House Facade (Wood Build)

That is way awsome. Great job so far.

Thank you all for your interest!

I fell like I cheated because I have a buddy who runs a lumber yard. I bought the stuff that was returned by his customers for dirt cheap. Just about all of it is odd size, twisted, broken corners and AZ sun weathered stuff but it works for what im doing.

I got to get this pre assemble done sooooon! I need to mow the lawn!

You also don't want to leave it up too long because a building inspector might spot it. It isn't anchored down but they might then consider it a fire hazard and sic the fire department on you.

Looks amazing, by the way. When you decided to fix last year's little appearance problem you really went all out.

Got the rest of the front panels finished up. Now to work on the little fake roof sections for the front and the roof of the peak section (not really a roof but a board attached to the top of the panel to look like a roof).

I dont need the full structure up to work on the roof so I took it all down to get the yard back under control. Heres what everything packs down to (except for the roof parts).

Wow, Great Job Bud. Now 124 days until Halloween.

Wow! When I grow up(which I don't expect soon) I am going to be just like you. I love that!

Ahh DT...who are you kidding? You'll NEVER grow up!

I too am impressed with the facade. especially the way it packs down.

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!

That is absolutely amazing! Fantastic stuff! Great work! love the look so far.

And I'm sooo envious of the storage! Nice Stack!!

Very cool. Are you going to put a tarp on it to keep the elements at bay? I know the sun is hard to accommodate but any water might wreck havoc on the wood.

Thanks everyone for the comments!!

Yes a tarp is going to cover it, dont need the rain warping my hours of work in 100+ degrees!

I was pretty happy with the design althought quite simple. The storage was a huge concern and the 4x8 stack isnt to bad considering it assmb to 32 feet wide X 13 high X 11 feet deep.

Per request here is a drawing with the measurements.

Ill post some more photo's when I get the roof part done and find a cool old looking front door.



Anyone know of a good place to look for an old door or door handle?
