Donnie's Art Shoppe

[ezdays]

Just an update, there are a couple of things that I notice about this model. For one, I would have thought the exterior would be made in one piece, but it's not. At first, I thought the doors were movable, but they're not. It looks like the porch and all the details on it, including the doors are separate and joined to the body with a series of mortise and tenons, (or holes and tabs). They are joined permanently at the roof line. I wish they were removable, but it's way too late to even try.

Another thing is that the interior is loose fitting to the exterior by about a good 1/8". That, and the interior floor sits above the porch floor by a 1/16". The building inspector called that a "trip hazard", for which I will compensate by sinking the interior a bit when I put it in place. I will try to secure the exterior in such a way that it is removable, maybe use some Velcro or clips of some sort.
