heidiiiii Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Thanks Corey. I think what is so fascinating is that this house is an unknown. What is next? What is it going to look like? Finished product? It is like the ultimate eye candy...for me and for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 I hit a snag. The front roof piece for the porch is very very very warped. I wet it down, put it on the picnic table outside, and covered it in bricks. I think it is going to be a couple days until I can continue...

Schucks, but those bricks ought to tell the roof piece who is the boss Hoping it will give in real quick as it is useless to fight "mama" LOL Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 It worked! It worked! Spray the wood on both sides with water. Lay it down curved side down. Weight the entire piece on a flat surface (outside if you can), and just wait. I think the combo of night air, morning dew and sunshine fixed it! I am going to go over and glue it in place now..Yippee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Spirit Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Good for you, Heidi! It's good to know that the warpage can be beaten. I can't believe how fast this house is coming together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newt Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 yay, well done!! i'm nominating you for the next leader of the anti-war(p) movement. happily awaiting new views, and sending congrats!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Good for you, Heidi! It's good to know that the warpage can be beaten. I can't believe how fast this house is coming together! Thanks. I love to build. When I am done with building it and doing the exterior, then it will go at a snails pace. Interior design takes alot longer then exterior design..well for me anyway. I have to put her somewhere today so we can use the diningroom table! UGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I did some work on the pantry yesterday. I used the tiles that came with the kit to make the checkerboard floor. I am going to make more shelves to put goodies on. That shelf isnt staying near the window. I will have them stacked against the walls. Give me some ideas of what else I should put in the pantry (besides food)... What other things should I put in there? The room next to it will be the kitchen.

Hmmmm as far as ideas for non-food items in the pantry.....maybe some dishes, like off season or holiday stuff...cleaning supplies....kitties.....(when I had a pantry I kept the kitty food in there so I ALWAYS had fuzzies exploring the place ) maybe pots and pans that are too big for the cupboards......hopefully I can think of more ideas when I'm more caffeinated!

nuttiwebgal Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 in my pantry I have a birdcage and a hamster cage and I did have a 10 gal aquarium till I set it back up again. on top shelf...of course you could also put in washer and dryer if its big enough put in stain glass window and stack the W&D on the back wall. filled masons jars,mop,broom,dustpan,stepstool bushel basket with produce lots of shelves! love the floor...it looks great. nutti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newt Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 love that room! :angry: maybe a washtub, washboard, an ironing board and iron, and a laundry basket w/some clothes, linens? dunno whether that stuff would be in the right time period, though.

frillyfroofroo Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 It's looking great! - maybe some baskets, mop & pail, wall calendar, extra linens, stool, garbage can, ladder, canned goods, supply of cookbooks? I like the bushel basket and canning jars ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Thank you all for the ideas. You really do need another brain to pick when it comes to things like that. I really like the idea of the stackable washer/dryer. I could make that window stained glass and stack them in front of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Mini Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 ooo heidi that sounds like a great idea!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 I got started on working on her yesterday. I needed to keep my mind off of other things. I did the kitchen floor. I have wood that I am going to glue on the walls for trim. I have to paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
