Ute Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I'm new to the group and just wanted to say hello. Over the past couple of years I made some room boxes and built a "quick assembly" house which I have donated. In a moment of insanity I bought the Newport kit, now I'm scared to get started; I don't want to mess it up. Be prepared for lots of questions to come. Cheers, Ute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Welcome to the little family, Ute. If your kit is made of wood you can correct/ repair/ improve upon any mistakes, and it won't be the end of the world. If you mess it up, you will fix it. No huhu.

Emerald Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 WELCOME...Please share your kit with us. Everyone here is encouraging and inspiring to all types of builders. My thought would be to post your project and ask you question as you go as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ute Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 This is my version of the Newport, looks a little different but I guess we can add some individuality. I finally finished the house, well, the outside. It was a little more tricky than I had thought and of course I made some mistakes. However, I'm quite pleased and will have some climbing vine or so to cover the spots I screwed up. I will work more on the outside and am waiting for the electrical kit; that will be the next challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I love your color scheme, gives the house a rich look. What did you use for the stoop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ute Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Thank you. I added a piece of plywood to enlarge the area and glued painted egg shells on the stairs and porch, then modge podged it. Because I did the railings differently and left some out I had enough left for the porch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
