Carrying On

 I found a picture of my well-intentioned (though likely invisible int he final project) crown molding after all.

 I got the last of the structural pieces (save the south wall and the sun room) installed, and next comes the porches. That left me with a decision about whether to press on with House 1 or bring Houses 2 and 3 up to the same point. After a lot of dithering (a lot), using the recent experience to keep relative parity among the houses won out. Using the experience of getting internals done before too much external/structural work, it seemed to be time to work on the furnishings and their placement. They won't get glued in until the structural work is all done (including the stairwells), but this let me gather all the pieces.

It requires making all the furniture (shapes), so that occupied most of the day. Meanwhile, I tested the lights in House 1 and discovered that the walls are such that the dining room (the most completely furnished) doesn't show well, given the placement of the walls and lights. Maybe installing one more light in the dining room is in order? Not sure yet and mulling it over. Lesson learned for next houses, though!

Finally, here's the view while I'm mulling what to do next. It's conducive to deep thoughts!
