First I assembled the porch railing blogentry-8-1176138892_thumb.jpg

and then I temporarily installed it along with the posts and roof. blogentry-8-1176139219_thumb.jpg

Next I temporarily installed the mantle and hearth blogentry-8-1176139437_thumb.jpg

and then assembled and temporarily installed the balcony railings.

I assembled the chimney and temporarily installed it. blogentry-8-1176139694_thumb.jpg

Then I dry-fit the roof in place blogentry-8-1176139856_thumb.jpg blogentry-8-1176140034_thumb.jpg

and then dry-fit the stairs and temporarily installed them without risers or treads and I finally temporarily installed the gingerbread. blogentry-8-1176140239_thumb.jpg

This is the most elegant house I have built to date, slightly surpassing the Glencroft (still my favorite, but barely). The rooms are generous-sized and the floorplan lends itself to any layout one could wish. I will "dress" Maggie in a separate album; she has been quite detailed and specific in what she wants, including vertical beadboard walls, baseboards, hardwood floors (I will be unable to scribe my "boards" directly into the plywood after the fact) and tile, board & batten siding, coquina, stone, a tin roof, and an extra room.
