The 7th ToO Official Birthday Present Construction Thread

So, it has come to this.

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!

Maybe I need to start putting that in the first post as well, since I'm always asked that. Paint Shop Pro 5, from 1998.

It seems like progress is rather slow.

Are the smilies getting lazy? O:)

Seriously though, I'm looking forward to the finished product. I honestly have no clue what it could be though.

Everybody's active again and more big I-beams are being lifted into place.

This always happens. When I start, everybody's all "yay! new building! *postpostpost*" and then I don't even get one post after an update and have to double post. :-

We've got some big upright beams going up!

I like seeing the progress, Dan, but I grow weary of stating it at every update. :-

Oh look, several people who all say they don't feel the need to comment on every picture. Well, rotate through so you each post once after a picture and not after all of them. ;) I only need one post after each one after all.

The final picture is always posted in the construction thread and/or in the birthday announcement, so you must not be looking in the right places.

New update. They all are.

The steel structure is complete and stone panels are being put on the outside.

Sometimes I wonder if you are actually building that thing, Dan. You could be ripping off some Paint Shop Pro geek's work.

A lot of steel and stone for this thing. For future reference, the darker parts are farther away (inset) than the rest.
