Sunday: Still More Painting

I realized as I was assembling the roof for House 1 that the roof and attic plane would show under the gables, and consequently should be grey, not the white I used as primer. I've already touched under the gables of the completed roof, but that was sort of a retrofit, and doing it right meant painting the others before starting assembly.


Since I was going to be painting all of the roof planes for Houses 2 and 3, I went ahead and painted some of the bits that will be needed for porches, like railings, the header for the porch, and the decorative corner trim where the sides come together.












Plus,  and this didn't escape my notice, having painted railings made possible finishing the roof of House 1 by installing the bit of railing on the small gable. Not having that in place has been bugging me. Of course, it's just a bit too big now, since the original measurements didn't account for the shingles (sigh), so as I was working on the railing, I realized I need to shave it a bit to make the fit just right. Or come up with another solution. Still thinking about that one... so it's built, but not attached. For now.

The rest of the day was working on putting in the window glass for House 2. Didn't quite finish and still need curtains. The "glass" is all cut now, at least, and putting it on goes fast. Still need to cut and attach the curtains, and then House 2 will be ready for assembly, I think, as soon as I figure out where to drill for the lighting and get that done. Oh, and paper the floors. That will be tomorrow, too, I think.
