Really folks I can't wait to get this thing out of my shop and house it's been a loooooong project

When  SWMBA  comes over next we will apply the black hand made shutters.  Yah I made shutters with  eency weency  tiincey little bits of wood.  I  couldn't figure out how to get that louvered effect without making the louvers.

I gotta paint that deck.

Nice doll house Cliff.  So you also make furniture?

I'll pass on the furniture.

I've seen miniature  hand made furniture some of it real nice but I don't have any  je ne sais quoi for that.

You know how when a project gets too long in the tooth you get sick and tire of seeing it?

This one was  stick built like a real house is. I made miniature studs and joists and sills and  top plates  and roofing rafters  and collar ties and all that crud.  Every thing was exactly like  a real building.  Then the whole thing s was hand assembles painstakingly.  SWMBA helped with much of the  framing stick work. But then her schedule took her away so I saw her less and less and I had to finish it myself; not  what I signed on for, but  hey  it's a SWIMBA, right?     I had to design the lighting  and I didn't know nuthin' about electronics how to power LEDS convert AC to DC in the right configuration   spec the power supply to the  load attenuate the power for the  LED strings yadda yadda,  I even designed & built  four lighting fixtures and figured how to combine incandescent and LED in the same  power grid.  The whole building has real wiring not that  tape stuff.  Tape is notorious for failing. 

There was a reason I made such a project of it. I wanted a thing we  could do together and she asked me if I'd help her build the thing in the first place. Soooooooooooo

At some point in all of this I got sick and tired of doing that thing and NOW IT IS DONE~!!!!   Yipee~!!!

Well almost.
