I made some good progress over the past few evenings.
I installed the first and second story doors. The first floor doors and laser cut parts and some stripwood. I did have to sand the doors down just a bit (maybe 1/16") to make them fit. I can't be sure if it was the door frame parts swelling a bit when I stained and painted them. The second floor doors are cast plastic and fit well with minimal sanding.
And then I glued the twelve front windows in place.
I also installed the doors and windows on the rear wall. I left one of the doors open for some visual interest. The bottom two windows will be covered by the boiler house and storage shed so I'll be adding a extra false wall to the interior to cover the window opening from the inside.
I did start on the side walls, adding the corner trim and using my magnetic assembly try to both square them up and make sure they stay flat while the glue is drying.
I have the next 10 days off for the Christmas holidays so we'll see how much I can get done on this project.
