uppitycats Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Once I got past the foundation, the rest was really fun! Challenging, to be sure, but fun! Then there was the shingling...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Haven't thought about color at this time, thought maybe a lite cream. I keep telling dh that I should move to the family room, might not get it out of the basement when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAK Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Do meaure the exits before you start erecting walls! ! Yep..we had to take the door off the hinges in the basement to get my Garfield out. It just fit! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adallae Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I think I know how you feel. Took me two months to really start working on my Garfield once I got it. It sat in a dry fit, begging for attention, but I couldn't bring myself to do anything permanent to it! Congrats on the house - it's a great endeavor!

SuzyQ Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hey Mary Ellen are you painting and wall papering the interior as you go? I have found it is much easier to do it that way unless you are running wire. There is alot of area inside of the Garfield that is really hard to reach after you have you put it together. I am still trying to get mine back upstairs so I can finish it. Ray and I just can't seem to get in sync to get together to carry it up.
