Today i decided to build a mansion so i looked in google images and i found this house:
so it took me so long to build something similar which i am still working on and it looks like this
Today I continued to work on my project even though i had to almost start from the begging when the house ended up looking like this: Because i realised if you eras a small part of the house you have to eras almost half the project as well.
