BIG BOYS' LEGO Part 2 and 3

The upstairs and downstairs have now been joined up! So today is a Red Letter Day! Hooray! For the first part of this construction refer to Part 1 (yesterday's post). Part 3 should finish everything tomorrow!

These lads call the structure 'Fred Astaire'! It is certainly is turning out to be some feature ... you enter the hallway from the front door and .... Wow!

I came back from Anne B's house, having helped her with a sewing chore, bearing a bottle of wine. Time to crack it open for a swally!

Tomorrow we turn the corner ... and in more ways than one! The lads are still glued to the video as they work their way down the levels, packing and adjusting as they go along making sure that everything is going to be OK for the landing to be inserted before the last step is secured.

Part 3

Two days later and everything is basically finished. It turned out to be quite a lot of work mainly because of the checking and aligning at every step of the way. I get the feeling these lads who put it together (with Iain supervising) are used to getting out the Black and Decker whiz-bang equipment and bang, br-r-r-r, kachunk ... the job is done. "A different mind-set" sez one!
