Like most people, I started with original, The Sims. With each expansion pack my obsession grew.<br /><br />Just when I thought I had overcome my addiction, The Sims 2 came out and I was hooked once again. As before, the cravings subsided and I was once again able to function in the craziness called ‘real life’. Ah, but we all know that couldn’t last!<br /><br />I ‘wandered’ around the official <a href="http://thesims2.ea.com/">EA The Sims 2</a> website… from there it was only a matter of time before I learned of the wonderful yahoo challenge websites such as the <a href="http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/prosperity_challenge/">Prosperity Challenge Group</a> where I have met some wonderful people and later I meandered over to <a href="http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/TS2challenges/">TS2challenges</a> where I have met more wonderful people… as if that weren’t enough I am a member of MagicBeansSims and LL where I have met some of the wackiest and loveliest bunch of ladies… erm and a man… sorry ‘Oh Shiny One’.<br /><br />Challenges are wonderful things, from Legacy to Prosperity to Toddler Mania. Mini challenges to epic challenges and everything in between. The shininess of TS2 has not faded yet EA has done it again! While The Sims 3 will never replace TS2, I must say it’s going to be a fun ride! I have started a couple of legacy challenges and unfortunately only finished one of my current challenges. Ah well. At least I’m having fun!<br /><br />I have found that I enjoy various challenges and do better at playing them together than one at a time. I get bored and the challenge fails. I also enjoy telling about my experiences within my blogs and have even gone so far as to create ‘stories’ for a few. I love my sims, I love to write, why not put the two together? Blogging them has become part of my joy of challenges. This is where I list them. I am currently working on a number of challenges.<br /><br />My current challenges are:<br /><a href="http://llminchallenges.blogspot.com/">Roo's LL Minionettes Mini Challenges</a>: <a href="http://llminchallenges.blogspot.com/2010/02/welcome.html">Toddler This</a><br />Legacy Challenge: <a href="http://nw-orrin.blogspot.com/">Nowhere with Seavey</a><br />Prosperity Challenge: <a href="http://fo-prosperity.blogspot.com/">Forgotten Ossuary</a><br /><br />Challenges I have either finished, failed or abandoned:<br /><a href="http://otfwah.blogspot.com/">Farmer Wants A…</a><br />Prosperity Challenge: <a href="http://cedarparkprosperity2.blogspot.com/">Cedar Park</a><br /><a href="http://msroobeee.blogspot.com/2007/01/lost-challenge-intros.html">Lost Challenge</a><br />Asylum Challenge: <a href="http://mojasy.blogspot.com/2006/12/mojave-asylum-asylum-challenge.html">Mojave Asylum</a><br />Toddlermania: <a href="http://msroobeee.blogspot.com/2006/10/toddlers-toddlers-everywhere.html">Toddlers, Toddlers Everywhere</a><br />Soap Opera Challenge: <a href="http://coventryso.blogspot.com/2007/05/coventry.html">Life and Times in Coventry</a> (Mature Theme)<br /><a href="http://msroobeee88.blogspot.com/">The Bachelor / Bachellorette Show</a><br />A Black Widow Challenge: <a href="http://blkwidowroni.blogspot.com/">Negrita Widow</a><br />Soap Opera Challenge: <a href="http://ll-overthere.livejournal.com/631.html">Over There</a> (Mature Theme)<br />Founders Legacy Challenge: <a href="http://llm-foundersfolly.blogspot.com/">Founders Folly</a><br />TS3: <a href="http://armalega.blogspot.com/">Armstrong Legacy</a> (Mature Theme)<br />TS3: <a href="http://legacybaby.blogspot.com/">A Sims 3 Legacy?</a><br /><br />Random Tests:<br /><a href="http://wootdare.blogspot.com/">The 4 Seasons</a><br /><a href="http://msroobeee.blogspot.com/2009/03/testing-1-2-3.html">Testing 1-2-3</a><br /><br />I hope you enjoy and just keep simming!<br /><br /><br /></br></br></br>Roohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16115267741547198666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37641073.post-91519394341084173942009-03-24T09:28:00.001-07:002009-03-24T09:41:35.136-07:00Testing Page 3<center><a href="http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss162/ot_fwah/testing/testing28a.jpg"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss162/ot_fwah/testing/testing28.jpg" border="0" /></a></center><br />Next test!

Starvation is sure to bring on the Social Worker (SW) who will whisk away the children before they can die. Naturally, playing devil’s advocate, I asked about doors and windows… naturally SW is magical and can beam the child to safety.<br />Well being the twisted simmer that I am… I wanted to see for myself. O.o What?

I'm just nervous. Why? That's easy, if you knew what was behind me you'd be nervous too... well not 'what' but who...<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd02.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></center>Yup, you guessed it, we're at the Backyard and behind me is none other than Beans, Jenn and Suzie. I'm always the odd one out, I even have the wrong shirt on. *sigh*<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd03.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></center>Suz sent me an e-mail asking me my opinion... how does one say no to Suz? I haven't figured that out yet, but I will pass along the information once I figure it out. In the meantime, she wants us, the occupants for the Backyard to say hi and maybe give a word or two or memory or whatever as a thanks to Beansie and all.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd04.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></center>So here she is... and none to happy to be here from the look of it.<br />Beans: What? Oh no, I have work to do... that house needs to be finished for Twoyys and there is the pirates and you know you started a hornets nest with your annoying taunts. I was just fine with the 3 RP's a day until you and your elf boy. Hmph!<br />Um, sorry?<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd05.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></center>I dragged Jenn in here as a buffer... and because she's been feeling out of sorts lately. No one plays her they all play the Wooto Jenn... says she, but it aint true... and she doesn't look happy to be here either.<br />Jenn: I just have so much homework to do...<br />All work and no play makes Jenn a something something... *scratches head*<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd06.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></center>And since this was all Suz's idea, she came kicking and screaming... heh, not really she is the only one not giving me a hard time about this.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd07.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></center>I mean, come on... who doesn't love the Backyard? Where else can you get such quality entertainment for beads? Where else can you get bonked over the head with a shovel for stealing someone's fictional halo? Where else do you have such good friends who understand that sometimes you just can't stand to look at your sims anymore and the creative juices just aren't there... and they don't balk and scoff? So I unpaused the game to see what kind of reaction we would have. Last time I was put in the Backyard I was mean to Lisa... She isn't here this time, so maybe I'll be nicer... ya, I don't think so either...<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd08.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></center>So far so good...

I can't do things half way, its all or nothing... why do I have to be so extreme?<br /><br /><a href="http://msroobeee.blogspot.com/2007/04/backyard-pg2.html"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">continue to page 2</span></span></a>Roohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16115267741547198666noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37641073.post-88230264958724693372007-04-02T16:03:00.000-07:002007-06-08T15:48:27.211-07:00The Backyard pg2<center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd15.jpg" /></center>So Beans, I just wanted to say thanks, you've been an inspiration to me, sure I'm still an amateur compared to you and Jenn and others, but I'm learning and I really appreciate you guys... so um, thanks.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd16.jpg" /></center>Beans: You are so out of your league, you are so dense you don't even know when you should cut your losses and run with your tail tucked between your legs.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd17.jpg" /></center>Beans: I would never say that!<br />Ya I know, but it sounded way good...<br />Beans: You're 'God-modding' and you need to stop it!<br />But that is what blogs are... this isn't the RP I can make you sound as mean as I want to.<br />Beans: You could... but you won't...<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/backyard/bkyd18.jpg" /></center>Beans: You want drama, I'll show you drama... watch and learn...

As you can see here, the family paints together and Franklin gets to sell them all.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/mark07.jpg" /></center><br />Yes, please keep that fit body of yours Mark, I have plans for your future.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/mark02.jpg" /></center><br />Along with the cleaning & cooking chores, I have Mark socialize with the boys to keep them happy and he is always around to help with homework when needed.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/mark05.jpg" /></center><br />Another important job of Mark's is to make friends. Franklin will need 13 friends in order to reach the top of his future career.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/junior02.jpg" /></center><br />Okay this is so odd, Junior here is about to be naughty. Yes he has become a strange teenager. Are you acting out because you found out the nanny wasn't your real father and your father is only good at bringing in the simoleans?<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/junior01.jpg" /></center><br />Real slick Junior. *rolling eyes* you do realize that is your own fountain right?<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/mark03.jpg" /></center><br />Say good-bye to Franklin! Its time for him to go to college. Okay, okay so I just like seeing Mark in his undies... can you blame me? The parents are in the panties too... well yes that is because they had a nooner... Mom needed some aspiration help.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/franklin01.jpg" /></center><br />Franklin will do a quick run at Uni and be back shortly. Off you go Franklin, get good grades!<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/mark04.jpg" /></center><br />Hey Mark, who's on the phone this time?<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/mark01.jpg" /></center><br />Ah, it is your future calling. Right, we'll just leave you two alone... for now.Roohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16115267741547198666noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37641073.post-58338158035208308062006-10-30T13:50:00.000-08:002009-04-14T10:31:22.003-07:00Toddlers, Toddlers Every Where...<center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/Covershot.jpg" width="400" /></center>Greetings and welcome to my go at the <a href="http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/YOKzRX2W9TZo9GrejhqRejU1U_IviyHFDJez9CGBd1Pu-Kq1Z88X7KtwUFUzJT6OxEq6gz5S72oInAkBzggxtO9NHAl0difXpz0/Challenges/toddlermania.txt">Toddlermania Challenge</a>. If you're interested in trying this challenge, and I think everyone should, I strongly suggest you have plenty of time to do this. Its a short challenge, sure... but I kept pausing it so it still took me several hours. I now officially have a headache... *g* and it was worth it! Now lets meet the babies... I'm sure you'll recognize them although I have numbered them for the challenge and my sanity. It was suggested in the rules to change the skins to colorful ones to make it easier. I wish I had listened! And now I present... the "family"<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/Rob01.jpg" /></center><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)">Robbie:</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"> Um, Honey, what am I doing here... as a sim no less? </span><br />This is my hubby... or at least my sim version of my dear better half.<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)">Robbie: </span><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)">It says my name is Quinton...</span><br />Yes I have a Rob here in Cedar Park. See, once you finish here you will become a townie and the kids will be put up for adoption. As I was saying, he has graciously volunteered to do this challenge with me.<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)">Robbie: </span><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)">I did what?!</span><br />We will now mute my husband because he will only complain from here on out. Love you Robbie, really I do. Without further ado... Welcome to Cedar Park, now lets meet the toddlers:<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/baby01.jpg" width="175" /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/baby02.jpg" width="175" /></center><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/baby03a.jpg" width="175" /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/baby04.jpg" width="175" /></center><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/baby05.jpg" width="175" /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/baby06.jpg" width="175" /></center><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/baby07.jpg" width="175" /></center>Did you recognize any of them? If their clothes didn't give it away, then perhaps the hair? Or skin? Or heck their eyes? If you read any of the wonderful blogs that I do, such as <a href="http://www.magicbeanssims.com/legacygirls.html">Legacy Girls</a>, <a href="http://asimwen.blogspot.com/">Prosperity Falls</a> and <a href="http://prosperitypoint.blogspot.com/">Prosperity Point</a> to name a few, you will recognize them in time.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler01.jpg" /></center>Okay I'm officially frightened. I'm not sure what I have gotten myself in to and I can assure you I'm ready to pause and exit the house as is. Failed and chicken... but I don't... and the wee ones are off and running... er crawling.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler02.jpg" /></center>In the beginning I really thought the doll house was a great idea. I mean look at them, they are socializing and that is good... right? Um, from a "points" view, no not so much. If they're playing, they're not skilling. And you'll see later with my points, that is not such a fab thing. Ah well.. surviving is key at this point. Points aren't as important.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler03.jpg" /></center>So I take them one by one and I did well with the leaving and the next until oops I got distracted. Ah well, 4 out of 5 isn't too bad.. done? Okay next!<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler04.jpg" /></center>Ugh kids, they're so demanding! If its not coming out one end, its going in the other. And this is still day one and I'm already tired. Come on Rob keep going. You can do it.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler05.jpg" /></center>Quick grab Baby 1, grab Baby 1! Ah nuts, okay diaper change #1... wont be the last... and it wasn't... between Baby 1 & 2 I wasn't sure if either would get toilet trained! Baby #2 was my last hold out.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/helpbaby02.jpg" /></center>Along with the welcoming wagon, I stopped and greeted everyone that happened by. An extra pair of hands is key after all and nannies cost points! So thanks to all the helpful neighbors.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/nohelpbaby04.jpg" /></center>And others that were not so helpful can go home now... what kind of family sim are you? Can you believe Lance refused to get a bottle for Baby 4? That is just rude!<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/sickbaby06.jpg" /></center>Oh Baby 6, no don't drink that... oh they sure don't listen to me. Okay Rob, er Quinton... new strategy... must dispose of bottles in a timely matter. Of course that didn't always happen and it was always Baby 6 grabbing a nasty bottle and getting sick. *shudder* That is just disgusting!<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/sleepybaby02.jpg" /></center>Ah man, I missed him... I didn't even see this coming. I'm so sorry Baby 2, ya know I love ya! Honest! *sigh*<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/playbaby05.jpg" /></center>Um Honey, now is not the time to play with the baby. Sheesh you take your eyes off of him for a second and he wants to play with Baby 5. That is very sweet and I realize the rest of the kids are in bed, but now is a great time to throw away bottles and empty those potties! Okay fine, just a few more minutes... you earned it.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler06.jpg" /></center>Check it out, we have our first potty trained tot! Yeah, who was it? Oh it doesn't matter, lets keep the trend going baby. Oh yeah, I'm feeling it now. Yes, yes pick it up if it bothers you that much and you do not have time to read to these kids... move it, there is work to be done!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/sleepybaby03.jpg" width="175" /><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/sleepybaby06.jpg" width="175" /></center>Quick get Baby 3, get Baby 6.. no go that way ... whew... okay we did alright with the sleeping thing. Some how they ended up on different schedules, not everyone had to sleep at the same time. Made things a bit more manageable.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler07.jpg" /></center>Poor Baby 7, I would pout if my teeth were coming out of my chin too. That looks painful... are you gonna be okay? If it makes you feel better you grow up to very handsome! He looks so pitiful, I just want to hug him!<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler08.jpg" /></center>Speaking of pitiful, gosh Robbie, I'm so sorry I am putting you through this. You'll thank me once you become a townie and have a taste of the good life. You'll never age and you'll always be this handsome... am I forgiven? Ya, didn't think so.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/grewupbaby06.jpg" /></center>Quick you're platinum, grow up Baby 6. No more spoiled bottles for you. Now you get jello until you move out.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/grewupbaby04.jpg" /></center>Come on Baby 4, lets keep that.. oh dang, just missed. At least she grew up well.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/grewupbaby03.jpg" /></center>One more for tonight, let's stay platinum Baby 3, we did a quick snuggle and a play-tickle for good measure. Yeah, well done, now you three pick up the nasty bottles please and thank you!<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler09.jpg" /></center>A quiet moment before school starts and Robbie, er Quinton reads to his favorite toddler. Every time I can't find him, he's with Baby 5.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/grewupbaby02.jpg" /></center>Finally potty trained! Okay now would be a great time for you to grow up. Well done Baby 2!<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/grewupbaby01.jpg" /></center>Thanks for waiting Baby 1, a quick snuggle and there she goes!<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/toddler12.jpg" /></center>Wait a minute, hold that toddler... we missed a birthday. Darn it... let's go see the damage shall we?<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/grewupbaby07.jpg" /></center>Odd that Robbie's memory says Baby 7 grew up well and the message said he grew up so-so. Well I think you are quite handsome Baby 7, despite that weird teeth/chin thing. Sorry I missed your transition.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/toddler/grewupbaby05.jpg" /></center>Okay Baby 5, its your turn. I know this one was hard for you to let go of Robbie, but ya did good!<br /><br />It is time for a change of clothes a nice meal and a quick hug from the surrogate Daddy and the kids are off to the adoption pool.

I'm not over joyed, but I'm darn proud of this house. I've done things I don't normally do... like build a house that isn't simply a box!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/House/front.jpg" width="400" /></center>Some habits are hard to break for me, such as the front door. I have a tendency to shy away from a single door front door. I find a double front door less congested, which naturally threw off the floor plan a bit.. ah well, it was simply a guide line after all.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/House/foyer.jpg" width="400" /></center>Another bad habit of mine... browns.. why... no idea! Originally I wanted to try the U shaped stairs, or something similar... then I realized I forgot to print out that tutorial.. perhaps in my next home.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/House/kitchen.jpg" width="400" /></center>Once furnished this will be the kitchen area with breakfast table.. or whatever that island thing was in the floor plan.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/House/dining.jpg" width="400" /></center>And this will be the dining room/ area ... gosh more reds, browns and tans.. I see a running theme.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/House/fireplace.jpg" width="400" /></center>I have no idea how to get any other type of fireplace in there with out moving my staircase... hmmm, perhaps I should have moved the stair case! None of the fireplaces made me happy and this one made me the least annoyed .... yes I speak 'bubba English' ... but I'm sure you get my drift.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/House/1stfloor.jpg" width="400" /></center>Seeing how I'm not much of a tour guide, I've settled for over head first floor and...<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/msroobeee88/House/2ndfloor.jpg" width="400" /></center>an over head shot of the 2nd floor... I'm hoping that once we start adding landscaping and furniture I will warm up to this house more.. this wasn't the house I voted for... and the more I look at my pictures the sadder I get... I do have to say not using an auto roof is very frustrating.. rewarding once its complete sure, but I musta fussed for a good 30 minutes!<br /><br />Total cost for house so far: §29,713Roohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16115267741547198666noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37641073.post-75700090850975137282006-09-20T15:10:00.000-07:002007-04-03T17:35:11.159-07:00Dream house 15575 modified...I have taken it upon myself to try the ‘dream home’ again... this time with a couple of modifications and furniture and a bit of landscaping.
