Last Saturday I
decided it was time to dive in and start this building project. Saturday
morning I gathered up my building supplies.
I bought a few things at the local craft store.
Ruler
Masking tape
Hot glue gun.
Exacto knife
Clamping tape
Fine Sandpaper
Pencils
Pinking shears
I am determined
to stay very organized or I can see that it would get very overwhelming. Zip Lock bags and small bins do the job. I also found I needed a sharpie and scissors.
First of course of action is to construct the
foundation. All of the pieces to the
house are precisely cut out and located on a schematic. The directions tell you which pieces to punch
out on what particular numbered sheet. The
tool to use for this is the exacto knife because
if you try and punch them out alone, it is too easy to break the
piece. I made sure that when I punched
them out I marked them all as I went.
It took me awhile at first to get accustomed
to understanding the directions. After
awhile of trying to wrap my brain around it, something finally clicks and I “Get
it”.
Here is a photo
of the completed foundation. I’ve fitted and glued all of the tabs and
slots. Next I sanded it all down to
smooth it out.
When it is
flipped over, the 1st. floor is reveled.
Stay tuned! Next up are the staircases.
