Today was a day with accomplishments and a major disappointment.
The cork looked real good over the three gables. Today, however, when I applied it to other areas of the roof, it kept spring up. I tried glue and extra double sided tape, but it wouldn't hold down firmly. We've decided that we're going to take the cork off and redo the roof. You win some and you lose some. I have a couple of other ideas that I'll try out before tacking the roof again. Like I said before, I'd like to achieve that hushed forest effect.
We painted the window trims and applied some of the gingerbread mouldings today. Wow do they ever change the appearance of this house.
Ray and I are back to work tomorrow, and have out-of-town company coming for the weekend. I won't be working on the house again until early next week.
I took some photos to show what it looks like so far ... including the disastrous roofing job.
Mama Bear isn't happy with the delay, but I've let the family move in until I can get back at the roof. I've only allowed her the "bear" necessities for furnishings. She insisted on the large casket of honey, but I told her she'd better not get everything sticky. I also lightly landscaped so that she'd have her raspberry bushes and some strawberry plants.
