Hobby 6: Making a Popsicle Stick House

New week, new hobby. Today we are building something everyone can enjoy, a popsicle stick house.

It all started when we were walking down the isles of the local hobby store, buying anything that looked good. Stumbling across a bag of popsicle sticks, Patty suggested, "Let's build a popsicle stick house! It's so easy to do too; we did these in kindergarten." Jo quickly responded, "Patty please. We are men. I think we can handle something a little more complex. Like a dragon or a boat." "Yeah, nothing short of a popsicle stick mansion. Trust me, I took wood working back in highschool. I know this stuff," Mike added.


"We're sorry. We're so sorry."

Materials:
-Popsicle sticks
-Glue
-Paper
-Scissors
-Weights

Cons:
-Making the roof

The goal was to get so good, we can make something like this out of popsicle sticks:


Basically, making the house was incredibly hard. Especially the roof. We edited out the part where we struggle to make the roof. Please don't do this hobby.

i noticed you used the method of applying pressure that we used to build the tower, just not as many books. Also house's tend to have floors.

I saw two pros make a Popsicle house today...

We didn't need more books, the Stars and Stripes had more than enough weight.

You can't be serious. A popsicle house is tedious but only when you are actually doing something worth building. You guy's model wasn't a good example of a popsicle house that I'd ever like to build. I plan on building one but its going to have everything a real house has.

Your house model doesn't even qualify to be a dog house... not even a pig pen. I admire that you tried but next time make it worth watching.

My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but
I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this
website? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had problems
with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Hi there! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does building a well-established website such as

like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and thoughts

You would not mind if it was just starting your job.
While there are free web-hosting companies, like Geocities
or Homestead or Bravepages, that will host your website free
these can often have annoying banner ads all over them that you can.

A major difference is that a manager seeks objectives whereas a leader seeks vision.

I believe everything typed made a bunch of sense. But, think on this, suppose
you composed a catchier post title? I ain't suggesting your information isn't good,
however what if you added something that makes people desire more?
I mean "Hobby 6: Making a Popsicle Stick House" is a little vanilla.
You should glance at Yahoo's front page and watch how they write news headlines to grab people to click. You might add a video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about everything've
written. Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little livelier.
