There was other stuff going on today that I figured would prevent me from taking up where I'd left off yesterday so I thought I could sneak in assembling the roof for House 2, since it was already completely shingled. The roof goes together so pleasingly and quickly, I figured I could do that in between the other stuff—and take good step-by-step photos for the instructions, in the event that anyone else ever tries to assemble one of these houses. Ha.
First, I discovered that, somehow, I shingled the wrong side of not one, but TWO roof planes. I still have no clue how that could have happened, especially after my vigilance from the first time that happened on House 1. Still, it was fairly easily recovered from, as the intact pieces fit pieces in House 3 that hasn't yet been started. Now, I only hope that the new shingles winging their way to me from home match the color.
After shingling those two planes (again), the assembly did go pretty quickly, and the process is indeed very pleasing. Still, it was frustrating, to say the least, to find that I'd AGAIN made a pretty fundamental error, and one that I was on the lookout for, to boot. The roof is complicated, but not THAT complicated. Still, it's neat to see the two completed They look great, even when you know how much I goofed up in the process.
