what is a shell challenge my answer a shell challenge is wear your given a foundation and or exterior walls you can't change and have to build around but with my shell challenges i give 3 objects to chose from you have to pick one object and you cant recolor it
can i build this in any world my answer yes you can
how do i enter my answer you post a link to a slide show and download page to your build and it has to have pictures of every
room MAKE SURE YOUR SLIDE SHOW INCLUDES PICTURES OF THE BUILD WITH GRID MODE ON to make sure no changes where made to the existing shell
how do i make a slide show my answer there is more then one image upload site but i use imgur which you can find here
https://imgur.com/upload
can i rotate the shell may answer yes you can rotate the shell
can i make a community lot my answer yes but if make a community you don't have to use inspiration objects
can i put this on a bigger lot my answer yes you can

Confident that I'll finish in time to meet the deadline.

Nice colors and I've always enjoyed brickwork mixed with wood.

I forgot about this but maybe I can get one done in time.
everyone enough time to complete there builds because I thought having two weeks for lots 30x30 or bigger and one week for lots 30x30 or smaller would be enough time but if everyone would like a month for there builds the next challenge I can do that
With building so much in Sims 4- I totally forgot about the driveway..
Still working on it.. Even tho I forgot the driveway, I am Not adding one..Maybe I will break down & add one, I will have to see if there is room..I am Enjoying this, and have a family in mind for this house too..
Good to know, but I like that it is right off the water, so it is staying, I will figure something out...
I prefer to have more time because it usually takes me a couple of days to come up with a design idea ... if I get inspired. It might not take me a month to do a build from start to finish but at times, it has. There have been just-for-fun build challenges that last a week or two and I don't join them. That's just me. If the majority of people prefer shorter build times then please go with that time frame.

Between doing the Build n Share, real life and now we are in severe weather season (we get huge thunderstorms where we disconnect most of our electronics) two weeks go by much too fast.
I agree with Adwilson that it does take a few days to come up with an idea and then it takes a while to do a good job of recoloring and rearranging everything. Then there is pictures, uploading pictures somewhere and then posting here, phew, that's a lot of work.
I think a month would be fine no matter what the size.
Now I'm off to get started on this one

I have the house built and mostly furnished, I still need to do the baths and some wall coverings. I think I might finish on time. I wasn't feeling well today so didn't get anything done but I will get in gear tomorrow and get it done.
