Silly me!

Silly me-- the Robin Carey "Darling House" wasn't a Newberg bash-- it's a Chantilly! 
Once I realized that (actually it was when I was looking at Mini maniac's shabby Chantilly build), it freed something in my head about whether to flatten the front or not: don't make the Newberg into something it isn't! But that porch roof is going down, for sure. Most of the point of this is to get to use those lovely Heritage Laserworks pieces, after all. 
Did a run on HL, got some papers and bits:
Got the main pieces sanded, and the floors glued together (each floor has two pieces, which are held together by a backing piece). Got the post assemblies glued together; those are to join two walls at various angles.
Here I am putting together the base. I don't think whoever made this design was up on their angles; that one post piece to the left is not angled correctly for what the finished product is supposed to look like. I should've figured out my own post angles instead of following the instructions...! Also, you can see where I had to rip apart my floor gluing b/c I glued the piece to the right on exactly backwards. Well this is why I am inserting the floor while the base glue dries, to make sure everything fits...!
Here I am dry-fitting because I want to figure out paper placement and porch trim lengths.
