Great pics.... but I kept wondering.... when are the pics of flames coming...

Yeah I'm weird... I have a thing for burning matches...

Thanks you two!

Technically I'm not even allowed to have the matches in my dorm room because it's a fire hazard, but I'm planning on taking the house out to burn within the week and I'll take pictures then!

HOW did you hold your MatchStick House together???


* Superglue
* Elmer's
* Tiny Nails
* Anti-Gravity Magic
* It's a SEEK-rit and you're NOT tellin

Surely you can spin this into a Class Project, can't you?

PS: Don't *sneeze*

No glue or anything! Trust me, it took a lot of patience, which sometimes I lack.

I started at 4:00pm on Saturday. First one fell apart in a half hour. Tried again, second one fell apart in about a half hour at the same point. Tried again. Third one was going smoothly, and I think I got overconfident and it started falling apart. I got up, walked around, sat back down to try and fix it...got frustrated so started walking aroud again. It was 6:30 at this point, I ended up throwing it down and breaking it completely. I called my mom and she laughed at me, I decided to give up for the night.

Sunday I sat down and actually had this one completely done in about an hour! I was so excited! I'm actually surprised at how sturdy it is. I want to see how many houses I can build with my 500 matches!
