Sorry I didn't post last week. I literally worked on the build until the eleventh hour. And then had to clean up and take pictures. But I got the build submitted with five minutes to spare!
I thought last year was crazy? This year has been insane.
So I began working my way through what was left of the list. And I made another one on a break at work, for things to do once I got home. I worked on it every night this week and as you know, I normally don't do minis on work nights because its so hard for me to make my brain stop going.
I had made up a pretty bed, nice Mid Century Modern style. And it was too big. I had to make something custom. And I remembered when Pepper was working on the 2015 kit and how she made a sofa bed. So I checked out her method and adjusted slightly.
And I'm pleased to say that it works and it fits in the room as well.
So once I got that done it was time to get a few walls glued together and then work on a bedside table. Somewhere to put pillows and sheets. (Or a battery.)
I tried to make it sort of Mid Century Modern.
I got the bathroom assembled. So far I'm happy with how it looks.
Obviously the cinderblocks are just to hold up the toilet while it's glued into place.
I got the windows done for the bedroom and made a window and sliding door to go onto the rooftop deck.
A little thing I managed was getting the house numbers on it. 311 in honor of my childhood address.
The ceiling light fixtures were the next step, and then I glued everything together, walls, ceiling... and prayed. Lots of praying.
As you can see I got the supports and steps glued in and made a little driveway. And added some grass too.
I need to take a bunch more pictures and list my sources for all the little things I have in the house. But I did manage to get my submission pictures sent in.
This has gotten a little long though so I'll do another post in a day or so with them.
The 1:1 bathroom is nearly done. Paint and a little more grout, and the glass for the shower...closet rods and shelves...and we're good. But the new washer/dryer is in and we got to do laundry.
I've never been so excited to do laundry.
Hi Sheila! WOW! WOW And WOW!!! You made awesome progress and congrats on making the deadline with 5 minutes to spare!!! I have been thinking of you trying to beat the clock on this fascinating project! There are so many awesome parts, I don't know where to start! But that fold out bed that works is really awesome!
