LPCullen Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Jimmy and I were working on this the night before he died, so it has taken me a while to play with it again. Gotta get it finished because I want to enter it this year tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 You may be the Queen of Wallpaper, but you surely do rock with paperclay, as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranky Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 GREAT JOB LINDA!!! i also think you did a great job on the brick work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Thanks everyone! I'm having fun with it, and I hope what I want to do on the outside turns out right.... Actually, I decided to brick that interior wall/fireplace walls AFTER they were installed and I began wallpapering. About halfway into it, I was feeling like beating my head against the wall and trying to figure out why I did that to myself, LOL! I had originally thought I would sell this house after the show, but now I think I'll keep it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Wow it looks terrific and I love the fireplace. Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Tell me you didn't brick the interior of the outer stairwell wall until after you'd glued it on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Tell me you didn't brick the interior of the outer stairwell wall until after you'd glued it on... Ah no. I'm not that talented, LOL! No, I bricked that before I installed it. I bricked the wall for the fireplaces, both upper and lower, AFTER I began wallpapering and all was in there. It made for some really tricky angles...

LPCullen Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 OK. So. Here we are. Anybody know what happens to this house next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 If the half-timbering is already glued on I don't. Were you planning to use paperclay to make the infill? Brick, stone, stucco or tabby are all appropriate. Does it want thatch, slates or tiles for the roof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 The roof will not be my job Holly. I hate roofing. No, it'll be partially bricked, which I get to start on Saturday. YIPPPEEEE!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
