The home includes handmade miniature furniture and a rope bed. The log home will be used by Mrs. Harris for her installation as new state president for the Indiana Chapter, American Association of Medical Assistants. The banquet will be in Fort Wayne in April and the theme will be “Past, Present and Future?’ The house will serve as a centerpiece for the banquet. Design Smith designed the home with the aid of a magazine photo. He started working on the miniature in November and completed it the first part of February. He only worked on the building in his spare time for one to two hours at a time. This is the first time Smith has built something of this nature. He stated he usually makes bams for his grandsons and others. Smith used 104-feet of dowel rods to make the three walls for the home, and white pine and plywood for the ceiling, floor and furniture. The home includes a plank floor, individual wood shingles, stone fireplace, rope beds, cupboard, chest of drawers with opening drawers, rocking chair, table, ladder, mirror, bench, foot locker and coat nees.

Materials Used For the plank floors Smith said .he used a pencil to mark on the floor as if there were individual planks. The floor is made of plywood. The shingles were made of onefourth inch paneling, hand cut in iv 2 ”x 3 '4”x‘4” by *4” sizes. There are 554 individual shingles on the roof. The stone fireplace is a piece of plywood covered with spackling compound and the look of individual stone was made with a coffee stirer from a fast food restaurant. Spackling compound is used to fill nail holes in walls and is very similar to putty. All of the furniture is made from scrap wood, including the handles for the drawers and door. The furniture legs are glued together as are the logs for the home. The three rope beds are made with wrapping twine. Smith stated he built the home for the challenge and for the fun of it. He stated the materials used in the construction didn’t cost that much but the labor would be the cost factor. ■‘■‘lt’s like all other hobbies. You could -1 charge a regular rate.
