Dormer Frustrations

I'm glad my goal was only the dormers and not all the windows this month. I'm hoping the flat windows will be easier.  It's pretty tough to clamp and glue the dormers to anything so, I used these little dollar store containers on the inside. That moment of genius came a few days after I walked away from an exercise in futility with tape and clamps.

They fit in about perfect. There were a few thin wood strips added 

where needed (not shown) for a good solid glue in. 

It took a fair bit of dry fitting and cutting 

to get the rounded tops just right.

This part went pretty smooth, but
left obvious spackling work to be done

Are your houses made of spackle too?

Fill...

fill..

fill.

This is special for everyone who says my room is always photographed too clean.  

This is the reality of what goes down mid project. 

Can't you just hear your Mother's voice yelling "clean your room!"

I've got 5 days left on that list....cross your fingers for me.
