Since June of last year I've been working on a 1/12th scale model building. For some reason I've been stuck on building a bed and breakfast on my last two projects. The first one was actually built in a small tree stump that I had tossed in the back of the van one day while cleaning the brush from behind one of my wife's gardening customers.
The building it's self is almost 12 inches square and approximately a 14 inches tall with the roof on. I had walked around that stump with it's multiple sprouts sticking out all over for a couple months before I picked it up one day and started sawing the sprouts all off to the same height. First I'd mounted a platform to them and had started constructing the log home style building when my wife came out to the garage to see what I was doing.
She started laughing and asked what it was supposed to be, to which I started telling her a story about it. It was one of those "off the tip of your tongue" kind of stories which I'd never even given a thought to. But because she asked I started storytellin...LOL
It was Vern and Clara's Treehouse Inn... Vern and Clara owned and operated the Inn and had done so for the past 400+ years. Someday I will have to get into more detail about them and the Inn.. but tonight I think I'm going to leave it at that.
