I have been busy this weekend

Since my son was still at camp untill he got home 3:00 pm Sunday, (school starts 8:00 am Monday), and my earache is starting to feel better, I started decorating the outside.

I glued the windows and most of the frame minus the pediment caps. I forgot to take a picture of this step.

I figgured painting the siding strip individually would be easier to work with considering all the angle cuts I will need to make to go around the window frames.

Next I started gluing on the siding strips.

The front of the first floor has been sided. The pediments glued on. I just love these windows.

Finally I test fitted the porch. I like the design of the porch, but it seems a little delicate. I will have to figgure out a way to reinforce it. I have already added an extra bord behing the posts, but it seems wobbly still.

You're so efficient as you perform each step. I'm enjoying watching your progress ... it would be such a treat to watch you build in real-time.
