My next hurdle was where to build it. I could not build it in it's permanent spot do to accessibility. So, I first thought of building it in my garage, but then I would have to get the finished model through a door way and up two flights of stairs. Not happening! Then I thought, maybe I'll build it on a lazy-susan placed in an open era of the layout (future town). I also started to weatherize the 'brick' walls.

40"x40" is a lot of real estate.

The Build continues!
Tips; install windows and doors, before, putting the walls together.
A corner type clamp (which I did not have) would have come in handy.
Although the 'Lazy-Susan' idea is very good, support for the over hanging parts is needed
as well as leveling and stabilization of the 'Lazy-Susan'.
