Jeffrey Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 well its tuesday morning and my order is still preparing for shipment. SPOILER ALERT! highlight between the arrows below to read -->i'm gonna spill the beans and say that i'm waiting on stone veneer for an exterior covered staircase. it has been "primed" with stone texture spray paint so i guess i can just leave that for the pictures even though it looks 100% better with the actual stones. I need the stones to be in place because the roof structure sits on top of the finished stones. So worst case, I'm going leave my staircase stone-paint-textured and roofless, and lightly glue everything else together for photos and then tear it all apart and do it right when my supplies get here. <-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 That will work, Jeff ... remember: smoke and mirrors is the mantra to be chanting at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Jeff, you gotta throw that roof on there! I'm sure you can find a way to make it work with the photos. I'm sorry for the disappointment of not having the supplies you need in time though. I still believe you can get it done and it will look amazing though!! :bounce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Well my building will have a roof but my covered exterior staircase won't have the roof it's supposed to have. I'm going to try to wing it but if I can't make it work, No big deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieJW Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I am as finished as I'm going to be. I took photos last night, and tonight I'll look them over, hopefully choose 3, and submit my entry. Worst case scenario, I'll have to take more photos and move the look-over, choosing, and entry to tomorrow. On a positive note, once I got the building furnished/decorated, I was pleasantly surprised. It looks way better than I thought it would!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Congrats, Laurie!! I hemmed and hawed about my photos forever, but then I took a deep breath and picked three. Maybe we should petition for next year to allow 5 pictures!! :pope: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alamom Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 It's getting close! I can't wait to see all the new eye candy! To all those still trying to finish, there is still some time. If you don't get completely finished, you can photograph in a way it doesn't show. Smoke and Mirrors, fake it and finish later just don't stress and please enter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Expected delivery date is Halloween. No good. I'm gonna paint over my stone textured spray paint areas to match the colors of the stone veneer that has already been applied as best as I can. It's 30 minutes to midnight and I just walked in from spray painting in the back yard. I'm not going to bed tonight until my building has a roof. foregoing the finished ceiling since it won't show in the pictures. Same goes for any unfinished electrical work since I don't plan to have it lighted in the photos anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I must say though, if he saw it submitted in your time zone, at or before 12 he most likely would let it slide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Okay helping out someone is a wonderful thing to do, right? Does freezing your toes and buns off HAVE to be part of the package? Well in our area, yes. We had a heat wave last night and it was all the way up to a whopping 28 degrees when I got up this morning. I have finally gotten the workshop over the 40 mark with the space heater but I'm chilled to the bone. Man, I can't even get the quick/fast dry glue to dry. Taking a warm-up break. Can we be done now, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Selkie, take the whole thing into the living room in front of the TV. That's what I did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Back in for another warm up. Selkie, take the whole thing into the living room in front of the TV. That's what I did. Well, Blondie, no can do - DH's deal is no dh's in common or public areas of the house. That's why none of mine are out anywhere where anyone can see them. It's kinda frustrating but maybe someday if I build something he thinks is good enough, he'll change his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Oh MAN. Can't he make an exception when it's a day before the deadline??? Wait. I'm not married, so I clearly do not understand marital agreements about hobbies or whatnots. Just ignore me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 We've managed to stay married for 45 years so far so, guess I won't rock the boat over this one. Not worth it at this stage of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
