Thats awesome! Cool alternative to gingerbread house for the holidays.

What was used for rebar? LOL

[jbeall]

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! ;-)

Buttercreme Frosting ?

[tanderson]

I'm guessing it's marshmallow creme.

[Kola]

I would have used cream cheese frosting!
(although it could be synthetic chinking chaulk..heehee)

Did y'all see all the other pictures?? (the first time I missed his link to all the other pictures)
The front of the house is very cool.

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. :-)

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!

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