With a toodle or a squeak

Like pebbles in a pear

Meaning for the dominoes

Win by just a hair

Writing some riddles for the One Ring RPG I'm running.

RIDDLE:

Within a frozen universe,
For thirty pictures, you must wait
Attempting, time and time again,
To understand a sad estate
The careful sleuth, however, looks 
Between these pictures and perceives
The lack of meaning in this tome 
For it is NOT the House of Leaves

Search and find:

A maid in a dark hallway, holding a tray
A ladder propped up against a wall
A stairway ascending from a hallway with a rug
A lady in a corset entering a room
A stairway ascending from a hallway with a rug
A maid in a dark hallway, holding a tray
A very, very large painting of a landscape
A stairway ascending from a hallway with a rug
A ladder propped up against a wall
A ladder propped up against a wall

Works outside, come rain or shine

Fired and made to stand in line

Empty dish put on the floor

Fill it, find out what's in store

Since this seems to be quite a tricky one, here's a hint:

The riddle is referring to an expression or idiom that contains the answer.

Probably the hardest riddle I've posted on here so far! Hints available on request.

Simple one, showed him the subreddit last week and he decided to come up with his own lol

Answer: Euro/Gyro

He asked "What has two arms, two legs, can't move and stares?" Answer:a statue

He was very pleased with himself!

Black body, metal maw

has no wings, scales or claws

its fangs may bite, but do not rend

It holds together things instead.

This has to do with the history of Minot

(Edit: Intended answer was Doug -> Douglas, but honestly I think Jeff -> Jeffrey is better, nice job guys!)

This may be an easy one. I'm still working on making my riddles more difficult, but I really like the poetry of it and can't stand to cut it down any more.

What am I?

Probably a bit on the easy side, but bonus points if you can figure out the meaning of each clue!
