Up to the Second Floor!

Hi Charlie!
I've started on the 2nd floor.
The first thing I had to do was finish the stairs

Then I cut out the walls and painted them.  Then I added the doors.

Then I glued it all together.

Today I made the railing that's in the hallway.

Next I'm working on the lighting fixtures and bathtub and sink!

First Floor is Done!

Hi Charlie,
The first floor is ALMOST done - I still have to make the kitchen counters and appliances but I'll do them later.

Lately, I've been working on the lighting.

First I had to wire the ceiling where the lights will hanging and then very carefully attach each light.

I did this before I put the ceiling on.

Then I put the ceiling on and caulked the seams and tried turning the lights on. 

Yippee! they worked!  

The front is not attached yet, so in this picture you're looking from the front without the wall on.

This is the kitchen.

The dining room.

The living room.

Now I'm starting on the second floor.  I've cut out the walls and started to paint them.

Making Progress!

Hi Charlie,
I've worked on your dollhouse this weekend and have made a lot of progress!
Over the last couple of weeks I have been doing some prep work: painting the windows, doors and doorways.
On Saturday all the pieces were ready to go so I could start to put it together.
I started by laying the first floor roof on top of the floor and drew where all the walls would be.  I then drill holes into both the ceiling and floor at the same place so the walls could later connect to both. 

Then I started to assemble the walls.  The first one was the front wall where the porch is.

Then the living room walls, then dining room and then the kitchen.

The stairs and the door going to the basement were hard! 

After I figured out the stairs then I was ready to start on the doorways between the rooms.

So now all the walls are in and the doorways.  I still have to put trim on and touch up paint inside. 

And then I'll need to work on the porch!

Walls!

Today I made the walls for the first floor, Charlie.

First I figured out the size they would need to be.
I already had prepared the wood by painting it and so then I just needed to cut out each wall.

Then I made sure they would fit!  So I placed them on the floor of the dollhouse to make sure it all would work.

Then I had to cut out the doors and windows,  Finally, they needed to be painted.

Next step is to trim the doors and start to put it together!

Floor and Ceiling AND Stairs, Windows and Doors

I am working on one floor at a time, Charlie.
Today I painted the windows, front door and stairs.

I'm getting ready to cut out the walls on the first floor.
I've already made the ceiling and the floor.
