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

You can't rush a good foundation.
Going up!

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!

Yay! New building!
I like seeing the progress, Dan, but I grow weary of stating it at every update.

That's kind of what I think. But it's not that big of a deal.

No one's forced to post...

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.
Kidding.

Are those smilies available for hire? I'd like them for my next construction project.

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

Ahah. Now I know what it is. SO easy to tell.
It's.. a concrete structure!

Please don't clap.

It looks like a statue of some kind, I think. That's just me. I can't wait to find out what it is!

So do you make all of these ahead of time? Or are you making them in realtimish?
