I submitted the house at our State Fair and got 2nd place. I was hoping for 1st place (of course) but I'm happy with second.© checkmouse

The lights were not part of the kit, nor of the planning, so I had to design this myself. I had thought I could run the wires down the sides of the chimneys but that wasn't very feasible. So I drilled holes to run the wires through the wall.© Checkmouse

The wires are hidden under the vine climbing the wall, and the little white dot at the bottom is the switch for the lights. The base has an opening on this side to access the battery. The trees and shrubs distract from the electrical stuff.© checkmouse

From here on out I had to keep the wires clipped so they wouldn't get ruined.© checkmouse

After doing some research on these houses, I decided I wanted a larger room for the Entertainment Room - not to be confused with the Drawing Room or the Parlor. It was usually on the second floor. So by removing one wall, I can make a room big enough for a party. And I found some wonderful train-people to be at that party! Pictures of them are in my Greenleaf blog© CheckMouse

The tab-and-slot method on this kit is amazingly precise! Just trying out the front and back walls on top of the base and steps assembly. So far, so good!© CheckMouse

These are all laser cut so they are attached by only a tiny connecting piece of wood. I separated all the components and put them each in a small baggie, carefully labeled. I can't believe how many pieces are in this tiny house!© CheckMouse

June 5, 2013 I got an email response from the makers of my little kit, and yes, the piece was supposed to be in the box! She will be mailing it to me ASAP. This kit is made in England and I thought I was fluent in "British" but I'm finding some words I don't know. One of them is "sticky ply" - found out that it is a sheet with an adhesive back to it. Had to look up the word "chamfer" - the instruction sheet said to "chamfer the vertical edges". Okay - I'll get right on that! It means to cut a groove into, or bevel an edge. Maybe all the gurus here already knew that word but I didn't. I didn't like their color choices for the house (in the instruction sheet), using colors I don't really like (yellow or pink), so I got back online to research some more real Georgian Townhouses. Was there something about them that required those colors? Fortunately I found many different styles and colors, so I'm going with one of my own favorites - burnt sienna. June 8, 2013 Just spent almost 3 hours this evening popping out all the pieces and putting each sheet, carefully labeled, into individual baggies. I can't believe how many pieces are in this tiny house! There were 22 squares/sheets of pieces, and I've separated all but the missing sheet. One of the door frames split when it came out of the sheeting, but he mentions that there are extra doors and windows in the kit. Hope this is one of them! I put all the slivers in the baggie in case I have to reconstruct it.

I'll start off with the kit-builder's rendition of what this little masterpiece should look like.© CheckMouse

Started the actual construction, finally. This was a very peaceful mini-day. Got the base painted, top and bottom, just to keep it from warping. Put together the front and back steps and the walls that they connect to. After the paint is completely dry I will put them together. I am very impressed with the precision of this kit - everything is lined up perfectly! As long as I don't mess it up by letting it slip while gluing it should be great! I used "Krylon - Make It Stone! Textured spray paint." Hope I don't regret it - I like the look of a cement or stone foundation and steps to the house. I just hope it isn't too coarse for this scale. I don't know why the steps are different - the squared ones go in the front of the house; the rounded, fuller steps go in the back. I would have thought it was the other way around, but I Googled images of the Georgian Townhouses and they all seem to have the simpler steps in the front. I tackled the stairways next - I started working on the back wall, but I was starting to get tired - don't want to make a mistake. So I put it away. I have decided I want to add lights to this - so must get online and order 9 teeny lights for it. Which means I have to put in wallpaper, to hide the wires. The kit suggests just painting the interior walls, but I want lights, so that won't work.

I added the attic level today, it's looking less like a box and more like a monolith! This Rowbottom guy wasn't exaggerating when he said he wanted grand rooms to showcase fine things
