View Full Version : Prize Competition
I have just been commisioned to make a wooden house sign for someone in my area. The sign consists of wooden pictures as well as twelve letters. I've just finished cutting out all the letters. I'm going to post a picture a day and each day will have one more letter in the picture than the day before.
The first person to post the correct name will win the prize.
The prize will be a hand made wooden keyring with the winner's choice of name.
You can see some of the keyrings on this thread

I'm going camping this weekend so I'll post Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's pictures this evening to get you all started.
Good Luck! Bob

Might be more than one word. :)

Hopefully you've already had your 'P' but if not "Off you go, and don't forget to wash your hands".
You can certainly ask if the letters are in the right order. It's a very good question. :p

You sound like my Granny! "Can I have some more?" "You can, but you may not" she used to say!!!

I've come up with many words but none that fit.

Well Granny's are always right.
I've come up with many words but none that fit.
That's a good start because the more words you come up with that don't fit the more it narrows down the search for the words that do fit. :D
Here's the next picture

Ill have a go too
Sunset Towers
I think you live in a very posh area Bob:D
I will have to go on google maps and go all around the streets near you or is that cheating.
It's not cheating but even if you go onto street view you still won't see their house name because I haven't finished making it yet.
So - good try but it's back to the scrabble tiles for you.
My guess for today
Nun Strippers :littleangel:
Bob you must live in a risky area:p
My area may be risky but with the house name you've come up with it's your sanity I'm worried about. :laughing:

Sunset Towers

Excellent guess. Reminds me of Fawlty Towers or Watery Fowls.
It's not the right answer though. Sorry. :crying:

Excellent names and Nutters House made me laugh out loud. :laughing:
I'm afraid they're all wrong though, sorry!

Ha Ha! Tense Student is more a frame of mind than a house name and Sunny Tree Top doesn't have enough "S's". Sorry!

Todays guess from me - cygnets house
well its better than cretins house which was my first thought!

On the contrary, it's a very ordinary name.

No hurry enjoy the great outdoors while you can we don't get many days for camping
Here is the sign finished, the farmer is having a pole and support made so he can fix it up at the entrance to his farm where it will be seen from either direction.

Thank you for the compliment. :o That sign was £200 but it was Oak and very time consuming to make. If you do want a sign for your garden PM me with some idea of size and design and I'll work out a price.
