WE ARE FINISHED! Although I still do need to go back and touch up the paint where we smacked it or knicked it with something. It did take 15 days to finish, but we can only work on it an hour or two a night, so it takes us a few more days than some others.
According to Jimmy, it was a very good house to build and would be an excellent house for a beginner to build, because it does not have a lot of trim or architectural detail as some of the larger houses do. Jimmy says that people do need to understand that you can't just open it up and glue it all together--that you should take the time to sand pieces and wood putty it to make smooth edges.
I think that the Arthur is a very beautiful house with lots of different ways to finish and decorate. This house is somewhat versatile, and could be made to look like either an older "out in the country" house, or a more modern "in town" house. It is a perfect size for display in any area, being only four rooms, in case space is an issue for someone. The entire design of the house is very charming, and the porch is adorable.
Here are our finished pictures.
