Welcome homebuilders locatray, Bishopsmate, jfaskdown, RaineyDay, and fundygirl! Consider yourselves signed up, I will update the home page after supper, etc. This neighborhood is filling up fast!

jfaskdown, you are one speedy builder! And your houses look great, even if the street lights haven’t been added to to the neighborhood yet. I guess that’s what it’s like when you’re the first to get your houses up, lol. I love your layers and that retro ‘house’wife. Is that little girl riding a moped?!
