You inspired me to get some pretzels and make my own cabin.
I was thinking about using sewing pins for rebar, but I didn't want to pull them out to eat the cabin, so I just made thick mortar.
The walls are standing by themselves, but the roof is cardboard. I was going to use chocolate bark, but I cheaped out.
Thanks for the great idea!
I can't give away the secret recipe for my chinking! Actually, I'm serious, I can't give it away--because I don't know what it is :-) My beautiful and talented wife made it! But I will say it's just "regular" frosting as far as I know. Milk, sugar, eggwhites, stuff like that.
By the way, my beautiful and talented wife is the one who did the front of the house--the bit that Kola thought was cool. :-)

Looks great! It's even got a ridge pole with RPSLs, we didn't do that on our house :-)

What was used for rebar? LOL
No rebar
We kinda cheated. If you look through the other pictures you will see that we built the house around a box.
Hopefully I won't get kicked out of the association for unapproved building techniques! ;-)
