Takes three minions to shoot it.... -
The minions wanted me to build them a fart blaster, "just in case"...not sure what that means, but since I had the remainder of a little gold plastic trumpet, I went to work. It turned out a little big for them, took two or three of them to shoot it, but they are tickled!

After I knocked the telescope over and broke it, figured I had to redesign it to make it more stable. The Captain likes this one even better!© Debra A. Morin

Dear Friends, Dr. Thaddeus Robertson extends his greetings and respectfully requests your presence at the grand gala opening of his new Planetary Observation and Galactic Research Facility. Regretfully, Dr. Roberson has been called away to do some extensive research elsewhere and will not be able to attend. However, he has engaged the employment of a new housekeeper, Mrs. Donovan, who will be more than happy to show you around and answer any questions you may have. <whispered aside: she's mainly there to keep the minions in line but she's a little sensitive about being a "baby sitter" so don't mention that> Feel free to explore the research room and laboratory downstairs as well as the wonders of the Galactic Viewer upstairs. Wander the grounds or enjoy relaxing in the steampowered rocking chair in the greenhouse while you gaze at the stars. Attend the Event here. P.S. Dr. Robertson would like to mention that it's probably not a good idea to sit in the electric chair if the minions make the offer. Those little scamps think it's funny to throw the switch.

Have been having a great time blogging about the Summerhouse and thought you might like to see the progress so far.

Finished painting and detailing the wheels and decided that I wanted wrought iron instead of lattice under the porch. -
Wagon Wheels and Glad containers....
Debra from Olde Cape Cod posted a blog entry in Dollhouselady's Blog
Dry brushed the black wagon wheels with FolkArt gunmetal gray metallic paint to make them look, well, more metallic! LOL! Then I found a Glad container and put all the wheels into it. Will keep the sawdust off that I'm bound to be creating making that set of scissor steps; but also keeps the Captain from messing with them. Though I did catch him with the hydraulic jack trying to pry open the lid.....he's persistent, I'll give him that. I was thinking about the steps and remembered that the wood I bought is 24 inches long. Instead of measuring and cutting each one inch piece, I think I will measure and mark the whole thing. Then I won't end up with any odd bits. Plus, I do have the extras I cut before I remembered to paint first....So I guess today's project will be cutting a humongous amount of little sticks! LOL! That's after I go do the WalMart thing and clean up the kitchen (that I should have done last night and didn't)...had that pointed out to me by the illustrious Captain who thought I should be working on his Summerhouse instead of ironing a few shirts. These little people will run your life if you let them, for sure. Got to go, hear sounds in the shop again, I think the Captain is trying to get into the Glad container.... -
The noise coming from the shop was indeed Captain Morin putting the freshly painted wheels on the Summerhouse. I think Richard and Reginald from the steampunk family gave him a hand. Personally, I don't know how they managed it, but I did notice that my mini hydraulic jack is nowhere to be seen...I think these gentlemen look a little too innocent, don't you? The wheels will have to come off so I can get started on the electrical. I have quite a few fixtures from over the years as I was always going to electrify something. Well, now is the time! So dug out the box, blew the dust off and here's what I found: Oh, I forgot, I also have headlights and tail lights too: The headlights came from an old car kit and I think I'll ask DH to drill holes down through them on his drill press. I have to go to the truck dealer this afternoon cause he made a mistake on the paperwork, otherwise I'd be on this today! The letter has mysteriously disappeared so I am going to play it cool and hope this thing blows over. Once this build is complete, I need someone who doesn't have their head in the clouds! LOL!

Working on painting the wheels today. Black tires, silver rims. Playing the touch-up-the-black, touch-up-the-silver, touch-up-the-black game...I think they're finally done! LOL! Besides, tires are only going to get dirty anyway, right? Some of the pictures of the Neverwas Haul have some color on the "hubcaps" so will be considering that option too. Maybe only two out of the four. Still have a large wagon wheel to paint, then I will be dry brushing those with FolkArt Gunmetal Gray metallic so they look more like metal wheels. After all those are done, I'll be digging through my stash of electric lights to use. I purchased quite a few years ago and haven't put them to good use yet so I guess it's time. Captain Morin is still on vacation, so he hasn't been breathing down my neck to work faster...thank goodness! He did mention that it was about time I put his portrait on here before he left so I guess I'd better get on that! I'll be going to visit my mom for a couple of days, so everyone here have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Found a "ship's telegraph" on Ebay! Didn't know that's what they are called. I always thought it was the speed control, but it's actually used to send a message to the engine room. Also reversed the ship's wheel, like it better this way. -

Found this pencil sharpener on Ebay, will need some modifying to work, and a new paint job! -
Just finished watching Season 3, Episode 3 of Tiny House Nation on FYI. In the episode called 340 Sq Ft Steampunk Adventure Home they build a steampunk theme tiny house with lots of pipework, galvanized metal and Edison bulb lighting. They also built a dollhouse in the child's loft. Enjoyed seeing how they incorporated the theme, especially, the galvanized tub, sink, bathroom fixtures and the lighting.
