The Tin House (Part 3)



This is the way the "Tin House" looked when I left the work site, yesterday.



This is the way it looked when I arrived, today.

Notice any thing different? After putting in a call to C. Pender Sr. (aka Dad), I found out the clients had made a visit to the house. He straightened up the job site, to make a better impression. He still is not prepared to give me any information on the pixie who is moving into the Tin House. Also, no input as to why the unusual fire proofing.

I did find out that this house is a "Habitat for Pixie's", project. Which means, I'm volunteering my labor on this house, the materials are being purchased with donations.

*******************************************


Later the same day.



As you can see, things are progressing. The front window and door are in and the trim is finished. Some of the base board and corner molding is also done. Once I get the second floor on, I can work on the "sprinkler system". The client really wants some fire prevention.

The Tin House (Part 2)



Good Morning! You're here rather early. I'm just getting here myself.



Things seem to be progressing fairly well. These metal frame windows, offer a nice contrast to the metal of the house. I still don't know why we are making this home so fire resistant.



The plans call for fire resistant everything. This pretty wallpaper is made of material that will withstand temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. The flooring material is also close to that temperature limit.



I've got to pick up some materials, so I need to leave. Stay around as long as you care to. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

The Tin House (Part 1)



Hello! It's been awhile since I've seen you. It feels kind of strange to have my tool pouch on, but I'm ready to get back in the "groove". Come on in and I'll you show the plans for this "unique" home.




I'm not sure who will be moving into this house. Like all the homes I have built, this one has some unique features. The biggest being, that it must be extremely fire resistant. The exterior is made of metal! Hence the name (The Tin House).



The plans call for an additional window on this side, and also a window on each end of the second floor. It has involved a great deal of metal cutting.



See you again. Stop by anytime.

The Return of C.J.



Hi there! It's my understanding that my Dad has been looking for me. Well here I am.



I guess that I need to do a little explaining. Let's face it, I had some personal problems. Most of which were caused by the girl pixies. I've never considered myself to be a ladies-man, but those little girls were sure chasing me. They're all cute and cuddly, but I just couldn't decide which one I like the most. So! I left town.
.


I spent some time on the road with a carnival. Mostly I ran some of the games. It got boring after awhile. That's when I became a stunt rider.





Jumping canyons was much more exciting, but all so more dangerous. Some of my "away time" was spent in various hospitals, with various broken parts. Luckly, I am all better now.

I've had a long talk with my Dad, and am going back to work, building "specialized" homes for pixies. The first one will be made of fireproof material.
