I would have gotten away if it weren't for those meddling kids.

I'm not gonna lie, I am shaking in my boots.

For 2 years now we have had this next project on the drawing board (honest, it didn't take 2 years to build). I have seen them on tv since I was old enough to watch Bugs and Wiley E.

Saturday morning with a blanket and a big pillow in tow, Scooby Doo was at the top of the list for me. Somehow Scooby and Shaggy always found a secret passage thru a bookcase that moves revealing a hidden treasure and some dude dressed up as a ghoul or swamp thing. And we are on the brink of our own bookcase that opens into a secret room, and I'm sweating it, having never actually built one. This one has stretched me, and I am at a breaking point.

We spent the past few days in the finish room and will spend the next few days on site to see if all our math adds up to a doorway that even Scooby can't find.

The house is all but wrapped up. After a few details and a big bookcase, I should have some great pics in the next week or so. Check them out. Wish me luck, I might need it.

And, speaking of Scooby, what ever happened to Velma? She was a real hip lady.
