Ron, I'm SO glad to see you back and posting again! :hug: I am so sorry for your loss; it might help to dedicate a part of this build to your loved one's memory.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Sincerest condolences.

i have been working on the windows while i wait for the glue to dry on the brickwork. there are 46 windows in this house and 5 different sizes. when the windows are finished i can start the siding and all the fancy trim.

here is the fireplace in the ballroom. starting to look like one too.

I too am sorry for your recent loss. This Carson Mansion really is a mansion, and I am happy to hear you are returning to it. I would love to see more pictures of it as it progresses.

Attached are 2 photo's of the carson dollhouse, i am uploading these for my father so i'm not sure on what all detail i need to be posting,if you have any question's just ask and my father (Ron) will reply with a answer, just updating everybody here with the progress of the build,....how do you like the wood work on the front & the colors??

[KathieB]

Ron, the house is coming along beautifully! I just compared these photos with the ones in post #31. It's always a treat to see your progress.

The gray is a stately color. Will you be aging it a bit or introducing other colors with it? Considering the overall detailing on the house, I'm guessing you may want to let the ornate woodwork shine.

[Dalesq]

It's stunning!

[Rhonda]

Amazing, a true master for sure.

[rojam18801]

kathie, i would like to paint more of the fancy woodwork with more colors to make it really stand out. but i am old and have the shakey hand thing going on. mostly i make a mess with the paint.

Ron, I am old and have shaky hands, too; masking tape works for me.

[KathieB]

Ron, I understand the shaky hand syndrome. Have you thought about painting some of the trim before you install it?

[rojam18801]

oh, all you young folks trying to get me to change ways but i am too old and stubborn to change anything. LOL but i think about it. thanks, holly and kathie.

[havanaholly]

Psst,Ron, I don't know about Kathie, but I'm older than you...

[rojam18801]

and all this time i did'nt anyone was older then me. i told my grandkids i was older then dirt. they looked at me and said ok.

[Selkie]

Old ??? Hm-m-m-m ??? Let's see, I'm right up there with the dirt thing !!

As to the shaky hands, well, arthritis and the jitters make a terrific combination for messes - just ask me how I know!!

Not 5 minutes ago, I threw a craft project on the floor in exasperation because I couldn't stop my hand from jiggling and some other fingers were locked up in "the claw" position and I could not, for the life of me, make the two pieces I was trying to glue, line up and stick. sigh ...

Getting old sure ain't what it's cracked up to be - it surely isn't for the young. They don't have enough stamina to put up with all the "old peoples stuff" !

hahahahahaha (ducking now and running as fast as I can hobble!)

PS - Love watching how your progress is moving along. Congrats!

[rojam18801]

selkie. i like you, you funny. you think just like me. i always tell people to have fun and if it ain't fun don't do it.
