I just don't  believe it.  I just bought a Garfield three days ago and one has turned up near me, brand new still in the box for $75 Canadian... what would you do with 2, it seems to good to pass by... help !!

 

How often this happens to me is scary am I on my own!!

Happens all the time to me. I'll buy a house kit for what seems like a good price and then another one pops up a week later for $100 dollars less. It used to bother me but now I think if I was happy with the price I paid at the time then it was worth it to me for the enjoyment it will bring. I don't dwell on the deals I miss out on. Takes all the fun out of it.

If I had the room to house both, I'd do up one Garfield as a lovely home and the other as the headquarters of a local historical association. Think of all of the nifty stuff that could be displayed in the latter. <G>

Well, if display space was available to me this is what you'd find for my Garfield. My GF is part of my Family Mansion project. In addition to the GF as the base, it has 2 Primroses, a Conservatory, and an Orchid all designed to slide together as one unit.

It also has 2 outbuildings, both were GL contest kits. In my world one is a motorcycle repair shop and the other is a large barn complex (my tornado entry)

What I've dreamed of figuring out was a way to complete the GF layout to go from L shaped to square-ish one. It seems as though an additional rectangular section (and possibly another tower section) could be built to fit into the empty L area, perhaps hinged. It could provide 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor. (I already pushed my bathroom wall back and created a hallway to the far right bedroom). A lovely music room, larger dining room or library could live on the 1st fl. Roof lines would be the very complicated thing to work out.

Well I did it, I asked them where they exactly as I don't drive far and am unsure of their area and they are coming to my town on Wednesday so have offered to deliver it so as long as thy stick to the plan it is mine, I just could not pass that up, delivered Maybe it is meant  to be. Even if I make it and donate it to a charity it will keep me out of trouble for a bit.

 ... Selkie, wow and wow again that is something I would like to see, I cannot even imagine it.

Truth be told the GF is waiting, not so patiently, for it all her individual house parts to be dressed up. They are living on separate shelves in my studio waiting ...  Somewhere I have a picture of them from around 2008 all in place in their UNfinished glory. I'll have to see if I can find it.

I tend to take things back apart and store them flat until I'm ready to actually finish them. My DH doesn't like any of my hobbies to "clutter" up the house so they have to live in my woodshop, studio or sewing room.

Garfield 2 is waiting at the birder to be picked up.

Selkie would love to see those pictures if you find them, I am having difficulty picturing your plan.

Kathie, I love the idea of a museum will pop that idea on my reminder board.

I also thought about a boarding house,old style. Did anyone see the movie with Dolly Parton where she played the madam of a brothel. The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I loved the décor throughout that house and it was quite similar to the Garfield...No No I am not going to recreate the movie in my house. However they did have some wonderful lingerie.LOL

Nah Holly, if I was going to do it, I would do it like the movie, it was very tactfully done there was no pornography in it,   Tempting..but I think not, it may just offend someone.

 

I could do an old western cowboy  rooming house though with a few bawdy ladies, some gambling, a bar, brass spittoons and upstairs brass beds with cowboys three to a bed, Dining room serving steak and eggs for breakfast, that would be a lot of fun. I think I could collect Western stuff quite easily
