Putting Shell Together

I pulled out all the shell pieces, and sanded them a bit, including the window openings.

Jimmy then began putting the shell together (and got mad at me because all the clamps were at the other house too--oops). You have to slide the walls over the floors, and he discovered that sometimes it was easiest to hold the house upright to do that, and sometimes it was easiest to lay the wall almost flat against the floor to get them to slide together.

He dry fitted it first, to see how it went together, and then pulled them back apart to apply glue. Finally got most of the shell together. He said that it is very important to dry fit this house first (which he usually doesn't do) [put the pieces together without glue] because you have to see first how it goes together before you glue it. Otherwise, you might end up with a mess.

Hello Linda,:wave:

I love what you are doing with the Lilly, but in the background of the pictures where Jimmy is working on the shell, what is the house with the water wheel? All of your work is beautiful, but I haven't seen that one in any of the catalogues.
