my first blog...

thought i'd start blogging by writing something bout some shows i watched on the Travel and Living Channel. Like last week i saw Monster House where 7 random guys are chosen to remodel a house as per what the owners ideas... so this time these guys were asked to build 9 miniature size golf holes around the house. So hole one was something to do with the fire place, hole two was putting into the wishing well, and so on....

The wishing well was quite tricky and lead to some arguments between the guy who was handling it and the rest... iam quite good at woodworking myself and i could see the difficulty in what he was doing. he wanted the ball to be put through a gap in the well's base and have the ball roll up a twisted slope into a bucket, then hoist up the bucket which tilted to drop the ball into another bucket behind the well. the pulley was easy and was made by the metal guy and so was the slope. but getting the bucket to position right at the edge of the slope was the tricky part and a slight gap would mean the ball dropped out....

hole 4 was interesting too. they had a slope going up a bath tub and once the ball drop in it would run down the drain onto another slope leading to the mat.

it was miniature golf at its best!!!
