Early in the summer I wanted to make buildings that represented my friends and children I had previously made a Texaco station for my son "Barn" and a mower business for my son Michael. Barn's Texaco is because he is well known for having good gas, enough said, and Michael has a lawn maintenance business and when older brother "Barn" 3 he couldn't say Michael so he called him MIKEMO, how fitting now has lawn maintenance business. So as talking them In order it was my daughters turn. Lisa is a RN and sells Lula Roe on the side. The building when I got it was in pieces and all 4 walls were detached, But it had a nice store front look to it, so after cleaning it up, regluing the walls(it is concrete) repainting and making a roof for it, adding wind and door frames, it was ready for details. Bought a Lula roe stick-on decal and added it to a styrene sheet for the header, vertical letters from a sign shop for LISA O and I painted them hot pink, her favorite color, then when dry turned them over and stuck them down on a piece of inverted masking tape, then painted white leaving colored letters of hot pink surrounded by white boarder. Then made a shadow box window and copied some colorful pictures of Lula roe material on to cardstock and sealed in a laminating envelope to keep moisture out, left the top of the show box open to allow light to enter and show the goods. I believe this was the 2nd building that I lite with Wal-Mart $.98 solar path lights. Fun build and sure tickled my daughter
Thanks Mike, posted one a short time ago titled little brown church where I put the solar panel in the roof out of its factory location, was able to add a led to the vestibule and the solar panel matched the pool roof design
