12-9 I finally got a little movtivation to get to working on my house. Last night I shingled both the front and back of the primrose addition. I need to cap the ridge and paint. Right now I have the glue sitting in its holder upside down so I don't have to shake the bottle.
12-10 Yesterday, didn't go so well, for the roof part. My brilliant idea for a roof cap took forever to dry. What I did was soak some shingles in warm water to get them more pliable. Then I bent them over the top of the ridge with a little glue and tape. I waited all day for them to dry. When I took the tape off they were damp, the glue must have soaked into wood. I reglued, taped and went to bed hoping it would stick. This morning were dried and stuck.
Other progress that I made. The primrose addition to my house is supposed to be a greenhouse porch type sitting room. I got the baseboards and frame around the door done. I need to add curtains, plants and furniture.
I thought I was done is this room. A few weeks ago, when Mike was home, we were at Lowes looking at Wallpaper borders where I found these free border samples. I thought they would look good here. I need to get some more stripwood to add along the bottom of the borders. I don't know what is on the floor. I am hoping that a magic eraser will take off the black spots.
In the bedroom I added the baseboard trim and the door trim. I think the room just needs curtains and some decoration.
