Thanks for the kudos guys. I'll do my best to make this a good one. Part of the process for me involves time just looking a parts and experimenting with the best way to assemble them. I finished the other door opening last night and then spent the better part of the evening pondering how I would go about joining the walls together after I've painted them. I have pretty much figured that out. Then there is the windows. It would be easy to just plug them into the openings with some CA, but I think what I'll do is cement a card stock frame around them to create a window sill of sorts and then glue them into the openings. Another step to create a finished look that I'll try to get around to during the weekend.
I also think the idea of scribing the diagonal lines in the interior portion of the wall would be a fruitless exercise. I scribed some lines and didn't want to press to hard. However, the lines are so faint that I fear once painted they will not show up. I could try scribing the lines after painting but by that time, I'll have painstakingly glued the 2x6 studs in place and trying to scribe T&G boards into the wall would just be a pain. I nice detail, but I doesn't look I'll be able to get unless some one here can give me a idea?
I'll soon be off for a week with the kids during March Break. I hope to make some major headway on this during that time off. Tonight though, I am sipping some Neo Citrin and trying to clear my sinuses... stupid winter... been great all season and just last night I came down with a cold. Meanwhile the unfinished E.H. sits just five feet away, its walls in a pile and all my tools to make it waiting for the next round of assembly.
