Raising the roof

With the walls in place, it was time to install the roof supports and pieces. The first piece to go on is the back roof support.

Then the side roof panel:

And the interior roof panel:

I ran into a bit of warping here because of the addition of the skylight, but nothing that couldn’t be handled by just taping everything that didn’t move and letting it sit overnight for the glue to cure.

After those pieces had set and were secure, then I added the front and back roof pieces.

These pieces are the ones that fit into the gable where I had added the allowance of wallpaper to go around the edges. If you look close in this picture, you can see where the wallpaper goes around the corner of the eves to cover the edges of the gables.

The finishing touches on the second floor were to add the painted basswood strips for floorboards and around the edge of the door. You can also see where I added stained strips of skinny sticks to finish the edges of the stairwell.

The final touch to finish off the edges was to put painted corner moulding on the edges of both the first floor and the second floor.

And the interior is done! (except for the staircase which will be the last step)
