The Floor is In :)

Well it's about time LOL but I finally got the floor in. I used the dremel to cut the stones then cleaned up the edges with an exacto - I cut the stones freehand just following any "natural" lines that seemed to jump out of the floor pattern and laid the first piece in the house. The tiles I bought were 12" tiles so it wouldn't cover the entire floor but I decided not to piece it flat but instead go for a raised platform at the front of the chapel so I needed a riser. For this I used a piece of foam cut to just under 6"
Next I cut the rest of the floor made up of the top piece to cover the riser and two thin pieces to cover the sides of the riser. The top stuck very well to the foam and only one side seemed to give any problems so far in sticking - tomorrow I'll see how it's doing I may just not have rubbed it down well the first time.
I've also got two of the gables on the front - the third has been glued together and is drying before I put it on. I ran out of spackle mix so tomorrow I'll get more and should be able to just about finish up the inside <knock on wood> . As for this evening I've been boiling and bending more wood for the interior. There are still 2 pieces in the jig that will hopefully be ready to put in the house tomorrow but here is where the interior stands as of tonight
Unless I decide to make more additions the inside is pretty close to being ready to decorate though I haven't found the benches that I'd hoped to for inside.
