The Sixth ToO Official Birthday Present Construction Thread

w00th00!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

The Sixth ToO Official Birthday Present Construction Thread

Post by DanP740 »

Hello good citizens of the Town of Odyssey! Yes, it is that time of year again, time to begin construction of the official birthday present for the ToO's sixth birthday, which is coming up on April 1st (and that's no joke)

If you aren't familiar with this here are links to all 5 previous construction topics:
The Official ToO Anniversary Present Update Thread
Official Town of Odyssey 2 Year Anniversary Present
The Official ToO 3rd Birthday Present Construction Thread
The Official 4th ToO Birthday Present Construction Thread
The Fifth ToO Official Birthday Present Construction Thread!

And this is the first picture of construction:

So this was actually supposed to start on the 6th, but I forgot about it until last night ](*,) . Usually I post one picture every two days, but I'll be posting one per day until I catch up.

And yes, it may not look like much, but you can post. And please do.

And the tradition continues! \:D/ Looking forward to what you make this time, Dan!
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. ♡

Construction update time!

We now have the foundation all poured, so now it's just drying.

And to answer some questions:
iluvsns wrote:What do you use to draw that? It looks awesome. Did you draw it by yourself?
Jasc Paint Shop Pro 5. It's from 1998 or something, but I prefer its simplicity.
bookworm wrote:That seems like a lot of work for smilies. Do you have to pay them for overtime?
Not usually, but since I forgot when to start, they have to do a little overtime for the first few days.
Steve wrote:Those are the most hard working, limbless men ever! :) I get to see a ToO birthday! \:D/
Other years they've had arms, but I don't always do that.

I predict the present to be a tremendously large log cabin. ;)
