At the beginning of this month I purchased a Heritage Model Dollhouse, vintage 1991 never been opened, that I found on KSL.com classifieds. I've been thinkin about building a dollhouse to display some of the amazing miniatures I've collected over the years and feel like God helped me find this one! I set up shop in our third car garage and have been dedicating as much spare time as I can to it's construction. This is a minimum 150 hour project, that may take longer because there were some missing pieces I had to make myself, and I only have a few hours to spare each week. I'm 30 hours into it (trying not to be obsessed, but really wish I could work on this full time every day), every step I had to fight to make it happen. This is the progress so far:
- Buying and inventorying all supplies
- cleaning garage and setting up tools
- gluing the siding of exterior walls
- making foundation
- contact cement hardwood floor and stain
- brick work around foundation
- cutting support posts and carefully popping templates out of old wood panels
- painting painting painting
- actually getting some bay walls up!
- running into snags as some pieces have been missing, I did my best to recreate them
