Home Bldg & Improvement Game [Archive]

Like the 3 word story 8) game. This is a home building and improvement word game.

This board is about self-sufficiency and homesteading. Choose one word about home building or improvement projects and using the last letter, the next person has to come up with the next word. It can be a name of paint/color, wood, name of nails/screws, appliances, tools, etc. For example: if I start with the word: "Plumbling," the next word needs to start with the letter "G" ("Grout") and so on. Words can be used over and over. Have fun! ;D
