Ok all you building experts... how many of each of the gingerbread pieces do I need to get for zsmile to build a house. I have no idea what so ever how to estimate how many roof pieces, how many walls, corners etc you get the idea. All of you that know me know I only know about chocolate and have never, ever built a room in my life (much to overwhelming for me):scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: . It's a virtual Hanukah present for him- a gingerbread house building kit. I'm trying to stay 20-30,000 credits as I am still broke from Halloween-aren't we all!. Thanks
 
Ok, for every normal square house you need 4 corner roofs and 4 corner walls. Now the rest depends on the size of your house. I could give you an exact amount if you give me the size of a hosue you want. :)
 
ummmmm a normal, regular size house????? I seriously have not a clue so any, any, any guidance you could give will help! I think he wants to put in some of those gumdrop chairs and I know he likes those green candy lollipop things and the soldiers but I don't know if he wants it three sided so people can go inside and sit in it or off to the side and the chairs on the outside-I'm totally in the dark here-just trying to give my kid a nice yet unusual treat for Hanukah-with a Mickey Christmas sweater of course!
 
A basic house one wall by one wall, would consit of this:

4x Corner Walls
4x Corner Roofs
2x Walls
1x Door Wall
1x Window Wall
8x Three by One Roof
3x Roof (The one that comes to a point, chapel is it?)
Then some crates to put in middle of the building to add the roofs that go in the center.
Good Luck!

Oh oh! Are you adopting other for virtual Channukah gifts? :rotfl: You KNOW I am teasing. My house is my NO MEANS picture perfect, but if you want to swing by and see it, I'll put JegrezoDreams in there for a while and you can pop by with Friends list to take a look at my "Channukah and Christmas Fun Land"

What a fun Channukah gift!

Hey, now who dreidled you-oh yeah that would be me lol. Won't be home for a while and my computer at school is still on VMK ban thanks to the 6th graders after school last year but I would love to come by and we can light the candles together. Thanks to all for the advice. I thought VMK Virtual presents were very original of me-especially do to the fact that the cast makes shopping other than online pretty much out of the picture. This is what you get the kid who has everything-VMK furniture!:banana: :banana:
