stained glass & major interior work done!
Hi-ho, the paint's drying on the upstairs ceiling, the rectagular windows are in & framed on the inside, and all the exterior windows & door are masked for the non-siding treatment. I have a stained glass window after trying in vain to wrestle with Liquid Lead, which is more of a partially "set" nontoxic acrylic goo that does NOT flow... Fortunately, because I 1) use acrylics straight from the tube & 2) add things to them to achieve desired effects I have a stained glass window that DH said "wow" to when he saw it. I hope the weather's pretty when I take the "finished" house outside to take a last round of pictures...I had to remove one window upper frame & one upper door frame to make the masking tape masks for the exterior and of course, since they're 1/8" plywood x 1/4" wide they broke. This is a common occurence with plywood this thin & my coping techniques is to pour a puddle of wood glue onto a scrap of waxed paper, whip out the clamps & toothpick, & effect repairs. I keep DH's worn-out teeshirts not only for wonderful paint rags but, dampened, for cleaning glue off of wood surfaces.If my back stops aching later I'll start to cut out the rest of the trim & start spackling the edges for painting. I want to paint all the interior trim almond. The exterior trim will be yellow with eggplant highlights. Before everyone starts to gag, I may change my mind once I get started, and the porch will be mostly white. Nutti sometimes changes her mind about color schemes, and I fully understand. Once the house is built I shall make some furnishings & fixtures for it, it already has a home :DComplements of havanaholly
