well I started on wed night around 9:30 pm

the house just yells to be cute. so Im keeping it simple.

I started by making sure I had all the sheets....check

and than a dry fit. after getting it all together I realised 2 things

first I took no photos of the process and 2nd it was really sturdy already because of the locking slot and tab system it comes with. so instead of taking it all apart to stain the floors I just started gluing.

and than I stained my floors. while waiting for glue and stain to dry I played pogo and read the forums.

These are my photos from 2am

so I thought well since Im waiting for glue and paint and polyurethane(topcoat of the floors) to dry I might as well add the bays which I did

I also painted the front porch with the first of many coats of baby blue paint

and because that went so fast I thought ok Ill put in the kitchen bay

and thats when I should have gone to bed!

this would be the wrong way to put the kitchen bay together...it is a very good idea to do it the way the directions tell you to do it!

And than I went to bed!

On Thursday I painted the house a lovely shade of pink.

and it would look so nice if my edges and slots looked smoother. I used some joint compound to fill them with and for me it didnt work. for the ones I did last I used wood fill and had much better results!

I managed to get the house painted and the ceilings painted. took me about 2 hours

now I am ready for the porch and the roof.

hopefully I will read and follow the instructions and all will go smoothly!
