Randyretired Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I am about the same age as Glenn and I am building our new home. About now I am questioning my sanity. I have built a couple of other homes when I was younger but things are much more difficult now. I am going to hire some more help to see this through.

GlennWest Posted October 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Will try. DW will take lot of pics especially if grandkids involved. Will post. Going to take a year long job in La Porte soon. Suppose to be 5/10s. If so will come over here on weekends and get some clearing done for this.

So you really have some experience in your family with the blocks. That would carry a lot of weight if it were me. How long ago did he build it? If you are now past the age of 70 it is probably time to get started on any major projects that are do it yourself. As one nearing #80, I can tell you that the years cost more as the number increases. Edited October 22, 2021 by Kirk W add a thought Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

GlennWest Posted October 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Ya'll got me older than I am. Just turned 65. Remember medicare post? The Lego block house was about 3 year ago. It occupies a complete bedroom. My daughter refuses to tear it down. Doors open even. I was blown away. He was going thru a terrible time in his life and it was a way out for him. What I think of his daddy I can't post on here. That man is no longer around and thank God for it. But my grandson is very talented to say the least. I am trying to get him in engineering.

Even so, 70 will come all too quickly and 75 will follow way more quickly than you think! At least for me it has. The years from 20 to 70 seemed much longer when I was looking forward than now that I am looking back. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Some how I thought Glenn stated he was 70 something , somewhere . Sorry about that Glenn . Anyway , I swear it was just the day before yesterday that I was 50 . My dear wife tells me I'm already 71 . That just can't be . LOL Edited October 23, 2021 by Pat & Pete Quote Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
