Ugh. I had to take the file size down so far it’s blurry. At least it’s something though. I got more done in two weeks than in two years. 😆

I’m so close to being finished! Shingles are about 60% done. Will need to trim the roofline and the interior rooms. I’m so close!

Thanks. I’ll check that out. I had my husband help me with gutters because the angles were driving me nuts. The ez cutter is phenomenal! I wish I’d had one from the beginning. I started the shingles. Boy, that’s going to take forever.

Michael's has Minis?

Everything is half off. I got the toilet, subway tiles, black tile floor, coffeecups and donuts, a floor lamp (too short), bedside lamps and copper frying pans. There is some other kitchen stuff like sodas that looks ok. The sinks are too short. Furniture way too short. -

I’m here right now. Most looks way too small. Toilet looks ok. Chairs way too small. -
No worries. I just washed it right out. Yes, I was wondering about that. Any suggestions for places to buy furniture that won’t break the bank? There’s a dollhouse shop about 30 minutes away. I’ll go visit there and maybe buy a bit, but I think it will get pricey very quickly. I’ve got the dormers in. I ordered an ez cutter on the advice of another thread and I’ll start shingles once it arrives.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! Wish I could get a picture uploaded. I did the roof trim. Working on dormers and the decorative roof thingys. Painted first floor ceilings and got paint in my hair!

I can’t seem to post pictures anymore. Don’t know how I did the work around 2 years ago. I’ve been touching up paint and working on the roof trim now. Done more in one day than I have in a year! I somehow lost the window panes for the dormers. I’m sure they are somewhere..... I think I’ll just buy a sheet of acetate and put in blank ones. If I find the originals I can glue on top. Once the dormers are in, I’ll start the shake roof.

Ok. Husband took over my craft room as an office due to COVID and I homeschooled. Now I have time again and I reorganized my house. I still have a ton of painting to do. I also screwed up and touched up paint with a different paint. Fail. And I put the third floor supports in wrong. Have to decide how to fix that. Need to spend some time reacquainting with the instructions.

It’s been so long since I posted! Im stuck on painting again. *eye roll* I’ll post a picture in a few minutes.

The wood on several of my pieces is very brittle. I think just because it’s so old. I chose a high gloss paint which in hindsight was a mistake. I’ll use flat next time but I’m too far in to switch.

Really? In what way?
