The walls are all done !!
The north wall, the long roof set in place, the dormer wall attached, and the boat door frame repaired and in place.
The West wall. I disassembled the dormer roofs.....they needed a little adjustment to compensate for the shingles on the walls. The kit was meant to be painted.
The South wall. The short roof set in place. I need to make a low step, and a threshold in front of the door. Because I didn't use the "trim", the slot for the ground floor shows below the door, and has to be covered.
The East wall.
Both roofs need shingles, the eve trim will be attached after the roofs are in place,and then it's just "details", and some scenery, before it goes on the module. I just noticed that the arch for the porch, in the West wall, looks like it's not an arch !
It's actually the light shining on the shingled inside of the East wall, at the other end of the porch, that creates that appearance.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
