I was able to make a fully functional cowboy pool and I added the second bathroom to the main floor. I added a few electronics that hopefully will work if the property generates enough power with the solar power shingles that I added as well as the windmills. I painted all the train cars on the track to match each other and covered them with grape vines which I find more esthetically pleasing to the eye.Space for Pictures:

  Your renovation of the train is great! 🙂Very nice pergola dance floor and bar area. The cowboy pool is great! The windmill is a great touch. The interior furnishing is lovely. Very stylish design and very nice black and gold colours. The living room with tv watching area and piano is very nice.

@nali272 I have been feeling the same recently. Hopefully a little time off will give us more building motivation.

Evening Everyone, I am not going to have a brief this month... I will see how I feel in February... over the last few months, my need to play the sims has dwindled. I pray this is not over but only time will tell. Thanks for the support over the last year! <3

For participating in the RMHStorybook challenge…

Aljay – I am glad it was a challenge for you because it was for me too… Beautiful English Garden, the grass greened right up with all that work, and it adds to the whimsical feel of the house. The addition of the Juliet balconies is nice, I love the stone path that you used for the driveway and patio sections and how cute it is that it leads to a bridge for a section to picnic on. The fresh coat of paint on the windows the brick and cleaning up the cracks in the wall really has brought the house back to life. Love how you flipped the kitchen to the backside of the house and the old kitchen you made into a bigger laundry room, then just moved the dining space into the main living room. The living room is bright and cheery with all of the yellow. Any children or future grandchildren will enjoy the more spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom is a wonderful retreat for Nelson and Wanda at the end of each day and the access to the backyard will be great for morning coffee. The old school feel of the house will make the grandchildren remember their grandparents. Thank you for participating.

@nali272 The last time I got a new computer I just started my gallery from scratch (I didn't have nearly as many builds as I do now) so unfortunately I am of no help.
