morgansmith Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Been working along on the outside of my fling, pretty happy with it so far but drawing a plank on the inside nothing done except floors. No idea what to do with it. A house that refuses to talk. I'm so glad that doesn't happen very often. I have to say, I admire you Lindsey for forging ahead when you don't know what's next. A little blind faith is good for the soul sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 It is being stubborn I guess. But needs to speak up soon, Dear spring fling I need to know what u want to be. Please leave me a hint if u see is. Maybe that will help, hope it an read. Here is what I started with back when the kit was first released. I typed in Google images - one room house - I got a huge variety of styles, ages, potential uses, and finishes. Then I refined it by adding the word - modern one room house - and then I did - old one room house, etc. etc. I copied and pasted a word doc of samples of houses that interested me in some way and eventually got a theme going. I went back and have continued to do that same simple image search for floors, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Hope that might help you get some theme ideas.

Dalesq Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Poor little Fling. Waiting in the wings. I am just about finished moving my office (it feels like I've moved everything I own!) and soon little Fling I will have some time to pay attention to you. I heard you give up in exasperation the other day when the dry fit tape let go and you collapsed. I know you are disappointed that I didn't rush to re-fit you, and you think I didn't notice you sighs, but I did and I promise to shower you with loving attention very soon. Just be patient a little bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Worked all day on floors and then realized I haven't even begun the roof. Since I'm changing the pitch, I've got to build some trusses and beams to support the new roof shape. Plus there is another big surprise for the roof that I can't tell yet but it is driving me bonkers to try to figure out how to pull off and have it still look classy when finished. Getting some sneak peeks ready to post in the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Feels like I am all over the place right now, but that is also needed with plotting, planning and trying to look one step ahead to get all those bits and pieces (yep lot and lots of cuts ) fitting together in the end, the warm weather has also steared me away from the cruical paper claying but it just might get a tad cooler in a day or so who knows ;) Hugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrchob Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Figuring out placement and landscaping (which I have not really done before) is giving me fits. I do a lot of staring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thank you, I'm very happy with the results. No need to panic folks, the SF told me what it wanted to be as I saw the house on the forum. I started building accessories for it before it ever left the factory. After it arrived, it cooperated and things moved almost at the speed of sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
