Unlike Tracy, we have never built this house, or really anything with a tower. The Pierce that we have that we are restoring was already built when we got it. However, I have always liked the look of this little house, and I think a wallhanging house is a fantastic concept! Especially when you start getting a few (like me) and start running out of room to put them ...As usual with me, I pulled the floor boards out first so that I could stain them. I chose Minwax English Oak as the color, and I used two coats of it. I have not yet polyeurethaned the floors, because I want to try the little trick Holly was talking about in adding stain to the wood filler to plug the holes in the floors. Unfortunately, I keep leaving the stain at the other house ...I turned my back for a bit, and Jimmy had already assembled the base shell. He says the house goes together very well.Compliments of LPCullen
