Got the battery box installed in a matboard creation:

Getting the lights installed in the attic; using shiny pony beads:

Got the staircase put together; the kit doesn't have risers or a backing, so I made my own from basswood and matboard:

This house eats up the siding:

I have installed the porch roof (after re-cutting the angle to accommodate a horizontal installation, shaving about half an inch from the front, and installing trim on the house so that the roof had something to tack onto).

Got my order from Heritage Laserworks! From left to right: "CiCi" (for the porch roof underside, just above the porch steps); "Barbados" (for the rest of the porch roof underside); "Duval" (railing for the yard); "Marissa" large (for the three large gables, left and right and front); "Marissa" small (for the small gable, front); "Cumbria" (for the underside of the "CiCi" part). I got the porch underside trims in matboard because I figured that matboard would be more forgiving to more cutting, since I will have to cut these in smaller pieces.
