First I painted the foundation gray, to look like grout. I think I should have used a darker gray. Too late now.</div>

I used a 1 inch foam brush. I put 4 doubs of paint in a large plastic lid: white, raw sienna, burnt umber and the foundation gray. I mixed up two colors at a time and painted the edge of the faux flagstone, then layed it on plastic and painted the top. After the stones dry, I sprayed them three times with Patricia Nimocks matte acrylic spray.</div>

I did not take pictures of every action. I guess you will have to use your imagination. Love blue tape-but in places it did not hold well. Patch...patch....patch !!!! On the dry fits to the dh, it fits perfectly. Yea !!!<br />

This is the cove molding I am putting on the inside of the window openning. The black window (right middle) does not fit all the way in the window-it is shy 1/8th of an inch (the depth of the outside sideing).<br />

This is the bumpout in the dh door (I will put a picture of the whole door next time). I felt there were too many windows in the front bumpout, so I filled in the middle window.<br />

These two pictures are of the door that goes on the right side of the dining room/living room. The top picture is the dining room side. The bottom picture is the living room side of the door. I had to fill in the routed out parts. I am going to gold leaf the living room side of the door. <br />

I am also Kilzing the four windows so I can paint them.<br />

Magic Brik is GREAT !!! Here I am mixing it. Consistancy is the key. It needs to be a smige thinner than frosting. Mix well. I am (gasp) using one of my Martha Stewart storage containers to mix in-it was just the right size.<br />

I used a small plastic putty knife. It took a little trail and error to get the knack of putting the Brik mixture on the dollhouse. Make sure you put LOTS of news paper around, cause little glopes go every where.<br />

The brick template comes in a long roll and I cut stripes the length I need. I pop the little brick in the mesh out with an Exacto knife.<br />

Here I am appying the next strip. The bottom row overlaps the top row of the bottom strip. It must be perfect so the "bricks" are straight. The last picture is half of the side templated. I have to patch the upper back edge today and Kilz/paint tomorrow. Hopefully Sunday I will get the rest of the template on. </div>

I will have to " brick" the whole thing in 5 mins. and remove the template. In order to prepare for this step, I am going over and over the task in my mind so I will be quick.</div>

The addition to the dollhouse is two story, two room. The bottom room is going to be a rooster themed kitchen and the up stairs is a bathroom. The board to the left is a floor. The pencil line is where the edge of the board fits into the wall. The drilled holes are so the Dremel saw blade can turn and cut a straight line. All of this is to make a space to slide the electric tape up the wall through the floor.<br />

There are pictures of this............I really made a super dumb mistake-I used the really good wood glue (which I only have a little of and they are not making it any more) and glued the bottom of the dormer front (blue) to the base of the walk-out. When I realized what I had done, I pryed the pieces apart and put release foil between the two piece. Now I just sand the pieces every chance I get to smooth the edges. Egads!!<br />

To mark the valley shingles I put the shingle in the miter box diagonally and made a saw mark, then cut in the saw mark with an Exacto knife. You know how many to cut because you put shingle lines in pencil and can count the spaces.<br />

This is the roof screwed in place. My hubby put a dab of glue on the screw before he screwed it in. The white triangles are the back of the brick/plaster wallpaper I got from itsy bitsy-they have COOL wallpaper. I am going to bring the dollhouse (after the glue drys two days) into my library to trim up the wallpaper and put on the shingles. I am hoping my daughter, Michelle, can come over after the shingles are on and help hook up the transformers (2). Then the house goes in place permanently and the rooms get their lights and furniture. Yea-can't wait!<br />
Thanks for reading my blog.<br />

I have discovered that to build a no tab dh kit, you reall need some experience in construction. First you put wide tape under the hinge.<br />

This is the completed "tape-under-the-hinge" step. Then I put the two doors on top of the dh and reached my hand inside to push the tape, with the hinge sanwiched between the tape and the door, on to the door on each side. Then we drilled holes and screwed in the screws. Thank goodness we only put on screw on the top left and two screws on the bottom left, cause the fronts parted at the bottom.<br />

Hubby took the bottom two left screws out, put a piece of wood glued toothpick in the screw holes, waited 30 mins for the glue to set up -then redrilled and rescrewed the screw. Then, the top was too tight-I have figured how to fix that. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

There is no other empty spaces in our house. Oh, I forgot the bay that covers the big hole in the left front door-that project is next-sorry for the memory lapse-then it is off to the library. I can not wait to start putting the furniture in the dh and getting my family room clean.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for reading my blog.

Tomorrow or Friday I will touch up the bay and then Saturday glue it to the front. Thursday and Friday hubby and I are putting on the front doors and roof. I have to add doomers-not sure when. And I have to put on the roof shingles. Daughter, Michelle is coming to help Saturday.<br />

The bay originally had windows in the middle-TOO MANY WINDOWS. So I asked RGT to send me the cut outs and I glued them back in. I am glueing clapboard on the bay. WORD OF ADVICE: glue the clapboard over part of the window and saw the window space out (((((((((GENTLY))))))))))). I am always learning. I use Loctite wood glue. Great stuff.<br />

This shows the other joint covered in tape while the glue drys. It is hard to see the molding. If you look bottom left it shows up pretty good.<br />

There is the main roof (which I did not work on tonight), 3 pieces to each dormer (and there are two dormers). All the out side of the roof is shingled. The inside I decided to wall paper with Itsy Bitsy wallpaper-plaster and lathe. It is sooooo coooool. But I have to stop and think before I cut the excess edges, if indeed they need to be cut. The exposed edges on the under side that show are painted black, but one place the wallpaper needs to be pulled through the front opening and the shingles will cover the excess-I think that is the very front. Well here are all the pictures.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJDhq9a32J1W-d0UpYf6A-uOz2Qb3OdtkFjHlqOgnPZtmRz7GTpRTpkOdfCTffS-8lAnw0smgyj6HeCNzHGQp-vxqVcNRNi3mm5SVBYFzPgFOzldINts7pOvvq05gFCIl9Uj1lQbq7jkqz/s1600/DHFront12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJDhq9a32J1W-d0UpYf6A-uOz2Qb3OdtkFjHlqOgnPZtmRz7GTpRTpkOdfCTffS-8lAnw0smgyj6HeCNzHGQp-vxqVcNRNi3mm5SVBYFzPgFOzldINts7pOvvq05gFCIl9Uj1lQbq7jkqz/s200/DHFront12.jpg" width="200px" /></a>Thanks,</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I also put clapboard on the front of the dormer-I had no idea the dormer was so BIG. While I was priming the front, I also primes the next two rooms. I still have to get the sponge brush and prime the corners. I also had to sponge brush the clapboard on the dormers-the roller left too many bubble marks.</div>Thanks for stopping by,<br />

To make sure the stair opening was exactly over the floor opening below, I made a template of the third floor (the wall is not up on the third floor) and transposed it to the attic floor. I will attempt to put up the third floor wall by the stairs tomorrow and I will know if this is all correct. RGT were great about sending me another stair and railing-it did not cost too much. I am waiting for a roof piece from RGT in VT. to get the front finished-then I can put the house in a permanent place, hook up the transformers, install lights and molding-----then, ta da, put in the furniture.<br />
<br />
To cut the hole I used this tool from Harbor Freight. It is a oscillating thing that has 5 blades-it was about $30. The noise was terrible-I had to get ear plugs. I have seen this tool other places for $100+++. It is good for dollhouse use.<br />

This is the baby room. The templates are in place, so I can put up the wallpaper. I have hit a snaffoo for the light fixtures. I love the chandelier, but the wall sconces suck. Gloria Lund did the chandelier and I am trying to talk her into doing sconces. I have to stop and think-my head hurts. The wall to the left popped a little loose and I have got to reglue it---It NEVER ENDS. This is the room with the great carpet I previously posted about.<br />

The three photos to the left are of the Oriental Bedroom. The tape wiring shows how I soldered wiring onto it. I am putting the wiring through the wallpaper, then through the fireplace-just in case, in the future I might want to put "fire" in the fire place. Soldering is fun. I think I have four different irons.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOpq0xkc2pFaZQoodsg-jYEU-m733Z8InJswj7FbnVFXzgh1WH3PekMMxZ_E_g9m-9Wt3eDNMN2tulbQS5cgjhqA9QsIbwQcNOOKnUeustVVOU4RGwvBUsMeH9DdSLmxZl6diKzUw88UQF/s1600/Solder3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOpq0xkc2pFaZQoodsg-jYEU-m733Z8InJswj7FbnVFXzgh1WH3PekMMxZ_E_g9m-9Wt3eDNMN2tulbQS5cgjhqA9QsIbwQcNOOKnUeustVVOU4RGwvBUsMeH9DdSLmxZl6diKzUw88UQF/s320/Solder3.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

This photo showes where I put the soldered tape. (in the middle of the picture) Where the tape meets the tape I put tiny nails in matching colors. I made a mistake and put one hole too close to the other colored tape wire. I pulled the tape wire up and I took Scotch tape (the best) and put a little piece over that misplaced hole. Then I repunched the misplaced hole. The scotch tape did not cover the correct placed holes in the other colored tape so I only had to punch one hole.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
TA DA!!! The wall paper is on the back wall-FINALLY. I don't think you can see it, but the wire is coming out of the lower center of the wall paper. I will spray the other two sides of wallpaper with matte spray tomorrow and put them up Monday. If I do say so myself, the paper really turned out great.<br />

<br />
I am usually disappointed in the rugs I get off line. But, this one blew my socks off. It matches the furniture perfectly (the detail on the furniture is faded in this photo) and is perfect with the wall paper. I will get started on this room next.<br />

I had to cut down the original oval on the right to fit the space. I used the saw on the right to make cuts so I can break the pieces apart. <br />
The oval on the left is attached to scotch tape so I don't lose any of the parts. I plan to glue the parts together and fill in the void spots with caulk.<br />
The two little wallshelves on the far left will be put in the top and bottom area of the oval. I have mud men to put on them. The shelves are too tall for the space, so I am cutting off the bottom of the shelf. It is REALLY hard. If I use a bigger saw the resin will pop appart in the wrong place. <br />
Next process is paint the resin and gule to fireplace backing. Then I will put up the electric tape, wallpaper and lastly the backing and fireplace. It seems it never ends.<br />
Bye,<br />

I am really good at matching colors. It helped to have the back of the fireplace to test colors on.<br />

I found two pieces of molding to put on either side of the back and painted them to match. Now if I could quit being SOOOO LAZY, I could get this room almost finished. I think the next thing I am going to do is put the rattan mat on the ceiling-that is going to be difficult.<br />

I brought the piece in the house and fine sanded the rough edges-I am using balsa wood. Balsa has become my favorite wood-it is very light weight and easy to work with. Next, I Kilz the backboard and Friday hope to mix paint to match the fire place and then paint the backboard. Then for the SURPRISE!!!<br />
