3rd floor work and wallpapering.
I added the kitchen and living room bays; the living room bay has some big gaps in it (due to the angled wall not being wide enough) which I will have to fill with wood filler.
Other than that, they were some of the easiest bays I have ever assembled!
I installed the attic walls, the side dormer walls, the mansard cornice and trim, the front dormer interior walls & roof, and the main roof cornice. (I used the main roof cornice in dry fit while the attic walls were drying just to keep them square.)
I did some more wallpapering, and the kitchen ceiling with its light:
That last paper in the parlor seems to have some extra blue ink that runs a bit with the glue on the back of the paper. I think I got most of it but I might need some strategic wall decor... I also thought hard about the 3rd floor paper, printing out a few different designs and looking at them in place. I had first been thinking about toile but even though it goes with the exterior color pretty well (the bed in the pic is painted with the exterior color), it's too busy and I wouldn't be able to use patterned window treatments very well with it. I finally settled on a muted blue that doesn't match the exterior blue but hopefully compliments it OK.
I also worked on the chimney assembly, letting it dry in place so that the roof support pieces will be square with respect to the main roof cornice. Hopefully I have enough DAS paper clay left so that I can stone the chimney section. I went ahead and installed the house foundation trim because I want to paint it before I install the siding.
