lamps and roof
the cutest little house

roof and wall

I glued and nailed the roof in place Sunday morning.  It fell a bit short on the front, so I'm using layers of caulk to fill in the gap between it and the dowel....because the caulk was right there and if I don't use it for something it's going to dry up and be thrown away.  Once I get the gap filled and smoothed I'll wrap the paper around to make it seamless so I can paint.

I spent most of the day cutting the front wall.  I'm using 1/4" thick plexiglass, and don't want to ruin either it or my power tools, so I cut it with a hand saw.  I marked each cut line into six inch or so segments, cut six inches, rested, cut six inches, rested, cut six inches, rested, until I had it done; that way I didn't wear my arms out.  It's something I learned lifting weights.

I'm feeling much better about the deadline now....30 days to go!

Wow! Love how it looks! I'm envious of your ability to cut plexiglass. I need to build up my upper arm strength. Or stamina. Possibly both.

The plexiglass wall looks amazing!

I admire your stamina -- I would have given out. :D

Ingenious solution to the roof shortage!! And as for the plexi-glass cutting.... I have wondered how that was done! LOL! I guess it is perseverance and patience that count. I look forward to seeing that awesome "glass" wall!
