A funny thing happened the other day.....

[Wild Dingo]

Well... I must say!

I was under the impression that Shannon bein the stunningly brilliant house fixerupper that he is that the idea would have a certain appeal

My thinking wasnt I must admit restricted to getting the cubby house actually into the backyard... that would I assumed have been a bonus for him and the wee Trinity No mates my thoughts went more along the lines of

hoist the thing up in the air move it over the centre of the house and let it down... HARD!!... this would then enable young Trinity the priceless princess she is to have a mansion ontop of the neighbourhood with views to die for... just the thing for wee little princesses ...I was joking about putting both the fair princess and her queen up there for the ride just not done eh? Workcover would chuck a hell of a hissy fit over that one! the whole state would go out on strike :eek:

No the intent was to get it up there bang it down through the roof a foot or so and then stabalize it shore it up throw a bit of weather proofing over the whole shamozzle and bung a ladder down into the living room... a castle fit of young Princess Trinity if I do say so meownself

Oh and I was also considering the resale value which would of course soar through the stratasphere

Be quick as considerable interest is being shown in this exclusive mansion

So given all that my intent was to rather show young Shannon the options he failed to see... another option Ive just visualized would be to keep lifting the thing up INTO the 10mtr tree itself... and thus Princess Trinity would be the queen of her own castle in the air! What more could a wee princess need? a nice ladder from the living room through the roof and up the tree would serve King Shannon well with his carpentry skills for some time to come... Mind you Im not sure if he has a swimming pool but I can see some wonderous design options if he does have one... submerged castle anyone?

ahem... no meds were used or needed in envisioning the above its all the work of my own sanity... albeit a sanity which abides on a somewhat different plane than most but none the less a whole lot of clear sane thought went into the above

No Shannon ol mate no need to thank me its what we do... help each other you know... and you havin the wee Princess Trinity we serfs can do no more than show her that we consider her ownself in her dad King Shannons plain thinking ways and offer the challenges that he needs... so kind of you to offer no thanks are needed ol son

All the non thought of possibilites - WD your talents are being wasted in the west, come to Sydney, you'd make a fortune!!

You know plonking the sucker on the roof - not a bad idea, when selling we could add to your other pearls of wisdom " Added bonus of a batlement in case of neighbourhood dispute"

And the thought of sticking it up in the now defuct tree - brilliant, we don't have a pool, but our neighbours do. It would be a pinch, but if you took a running jump I reckon belly busters from 10M would be pretty cool

And last but not least, I am now thinking of all the kudos I would have received by being able to have said I winched a cubby house OVER our house, and to top it off only 4 broken windows, 60 cracked tiles, 1/2 a dozen buggered backs, and a flattened cubby house in the back yard because whilst we worked out how to get it up and over the house, we forgot about the rule of gravity and only braced it from one side, hence it slid down the other side and nobody put their hand up to catch the damn thing!!

Will keep you guys updated of the amazing feats of the castle that was wrent in twine ( or should that be cut in half:confused: ) Theres a book in this I'm sure.

All the non thought of possibilites - WD your talents are being wasted in the west, come to Sydney, you'd make a fortune!! HOW SO??? IF thats possible IM ON ME WAY!!!

You know plonking the sucker on the roof - not a bad idea, when selling we could add to your other pearls of wisdom " Added bonus of a batlement in case of neighbourhood dispute" INDEED! Now your considering the viablilty of this wonderous option there is no reason to stop there... I mean I know this bloke in the states that makes wee canons for boats and reinactments and the such but hey a castle bastillion without a cannon? NEVER!!! Think of the princess Trinity!! One really must have cannon dontcha know? I mean if those pesky serfs of the neighborhood do get into dispute she in her mighty perch can ladle them with custard tarts whilst you her faithfull manservant woulds arm an fire the spud cannon! AVAST YER BLIGHTERS!!! Princess Trinity says stand down yer dogs !

And the thought of sticking it up in the now defuct tree - brilliant, we don't have a pool, but our neighbours do. It would be a pinch, but if you took a running jump I reckon belly busters from 10M would be pretty cool aaahh yes indeed the loverly Princess Trinity woulds have visions splendid of becoming Aussies most famous high diving champion... "10mtr high board? oooh get a grip I mean I did that as a tiddler double pike with triple twist into the neighbors paddle pool" she would do ye well young Shannon do you well indeed... man Im glad you have a good vision of me ming ol son its terrible lonely out here sometimes

And last but not least, I am now thinking of all the kudos I would have received by being able to have said I winched a cubby house OVER our house, and to top it off only 4 broken windows, 60 cracked tiles, 1/2 a dozen buggered backs, and a flattened cubby house in the back yard because whilst we worked out how to get it up and over the house, we forgot about the rule of gravity and only braced it from one side, hence it slid down the other side and nobody put their hand up to catch the damn thing!! You do indeed know some woosy blokes dont you Shannon... really you must get out more ol son... get to know a couple of Kiwis the big burley Maori fellas... now THOSE blokes will pick the thing up and carry the soddin thing over the roof for you... just MAKE SURE the beers cold!!... elsewise how come you only did in 4 windows? And didnt you realise that windows are simply soooo out dated? I mean 4 windows out means FRENCH DOORS!! sooo complimentary to rooftop castles my man I mean comon!! you can think this through you can mate easy as... now if you did in the 4 windows you can do the french door thing if you did in 60 tiles GOODOH!! battlements ol son battlements... put up those guard houses you know like any good castle has?... and maybe a nice astronomy room? something for yourself perhaps? I know!! A up stairs bar with a view!! "nah lov Im just havin a few coldies as the sun goes down yeah yeah I wont be long no no worries I'll be there in a tic lov" and there yer are up in yer bar with a veiw with yer eyeballs stuck fast to the new ubeaut telescope aimed over the fence at the next doors paddlin pool cause it is summer right an summer means neighbors missus out in the pool in the bikini or less aahh see now Im even thinkin of yerownself I am it dont get bedda than that!! ... as to the broken backs well mate as they said when they built the great wall of china mate "elyblody godda blake sometlime" (apologies to me brother from another mother me forum twin the legenadary Wongo for the total ballsup of the chingalese lingo )
