In my stash, there was a set of leftover drawer pulls from making one of SDK's fantastic kits last year, so one became a a door knob for the front door of House 1 today. I'm positive I have more drawer pulls/micro beads, but so far haven't located them. I have enough in the set I found for the front door of all three houses, so at least they'll all match.
After that short burst of fun, it was time to make pillars for the porches. In an excess of caution given the roofing debacle/s, I then re-counted the pilot house to make sure I had enough. Sure enough, one per house short. Since I had the material and it goes pretty fast using the handy-dandy wire-straightener and template Michael custom-made for me, I then made more pillars, just in case. Lots more. (In the back of my head is dancing the concept of putting together a house all of all the bits and pieces I have. Not sure I have enough parts to pull it off, but it could be a a fun challenge.)Feeling productive, I started putting in windows and frames on House 3, which is still not very photogenic and gets less fun the longer it lasts. Still, keeping the houses roughly in the same sequence of construction makes sense to me, so long as the first one is far enough along to prevent pitfalls on the others. Along the way, I turned to Michael for advice on the structural issue that has been delaying construction. He, of course, had a splendid idea we'll try out soon. Here's a sneak peak of the first installment.
Onward!
