The Hobbit House Blog:

This will be the start of my blog for the Hobbit House build. This house is a last minute request for a Christmas present, and I’ve had to put both my Bronte build and the rehab on my Fairfield on the back burner to get this done in time for the holidays. I’m starting out with these supplies, I’m sure there will be more as I go along but here’s what I had to buy to get started:

1. 6 - pieces of 3MM Birch Plywood ⅛x12x24
   
2. 1 - quart of Dap Dry Dex Spackling
   
3. 1 - quart of Minwax English Chestnut 233 wood stain
   
4. 1 - 18 pc. Carbon hole saw set
   
5. 2- 1 inch round windows and 2 ½ inch round windows
   
6. 1 – Piece of ⅛x12x24 inch Plexiglas
   

At this point everything else that I need for the moment is in my stash. I started out by taking two of the boards and cutting them in half to make my two outside walls and two inside partition walls. I measured and cut a third piece for my front wall cutting out a 4½ inch round front door and the four round windows (Two 3½ inch large windows and two 1 inch round windows.). I then cut two 1 inch round holes in the outside wall pieces for my side windows and two 4½ inch openings in my partition walls for the doorways.
