The walls went together very quickly. The roof has only the front half installed at this time. I finally got the dormers to go together the right way. There was not a problem with the directions, there was a problem with the reader of the directions. For some reason I kept gluing the narrow ends of the dormer roof together and putting that to the top of the dormer. I believe I lost cound how many times I made the same mistake.

here are pictures of the shell

I painted part of the trim a medium lavender. The other trim will be a darker shade of lavender. The walls will be painted a pale lavender. The window frames will be white.

I have not attached the windows yet as my printer is still dead. I want to papaer and cut out around the window openings instead of trying to paper around the windows once the frames are on. I plan to run glue a thin strip of painted paper to the part of the wall that is the window frame.

It's nice to head into this section and read up on how the experts put these houses together. You are so fast and efficient. Ray and I are making headway (and finding the work relaxing and enjoyable), but we're struggling on a lot of the "how to's". I love reading your blogs to see how smoothly things go together.
