Jimmy has gotten the base shell all together and has sanded the wood putty for a smooth edge. Now it is my turn to work on the Arthur again. I begin by "priming" the outside and inside of the house. What I actually do is give the outside one coat of white semi-gloss paint. If you noticed in the day before, the upper half of the house was a different color wood than the bottom half of the house, so I give it one coat of white semi-gloss paint so that the actual color of the house will go on evenly. I put two coats of white semi-gloss paint into the interior as a primer for the wallpaper that will go in. I use two coats inside because it allows me to "move" the wallpaper around as I am installing it. Here are the pictures (and yes, I usually do turn my houses upside down and all around to paint them, LOL!).
