I'm too sleepy to load up pictures right now, but I'm happy to report that I got through all of Step A tonight. Which means, essentially, that I have a house! Instant gratification. B) First, I enlarged the kitchen window hole to make it wide enough for the casement window I bought, and filled in the gaps at the top and bottom. (The original hole is a vertical rectangle, and the casement window is horizontal.) I also enlarged the stair hole for the Houseworks stairs I'm going to use (just took a little bit of sanding) and chopped the bit of railing that protrudes into the kitchen off the center partition wall. Then I went through Step A, following the directions (rare for me!) and used a combination of wood glue and white glue to glue the pieces on. The shell is drying right now.As I was going through Step A, I applied a piece of tapewire across the first floor and up the right wall. I don't know yet where I'm going to put lights, but this gives me some flexibility. I did this before putting in the second floor because once that's in, it's harder to get the wire from the first floor to the second floor.Step B is building the staircase, which I'm going to skip because I'm using pre-fab stairs. I went to the dollhouse shop this weekend but they didn't have the set I want, so I am going to have to order them. I have a 20% coupon for HBS for the beginning of August, so I'm going to order the stairs then, along with the disappearing attic stairs and the closet door. That means I can move right to Step C, which involves putting together the rest of the shell.Compliments of fov
