Day 3 . . . or is it 4? . . . and I'm still siding the manor. It's becoming very tedious. I just want it to be done so I can move on to more exciting things . . . like building the new balcony alcove! I shouldn't complain because the manor is looking quite slick with it's new wardrobe. I've had to order more siding (I think I many have bought too much!) and am waiting for it to arrive. I'm hoping to have this wrapped up in the next day or two.
My head is swimming with ideas for the balcony alcove and if I use up all my pieces of siding today, I may have time to start on it. I'm really excited about it! For now though, I'm going to trudge upstairs and get to work on the rest of the siding . . .

There's a lot of fanagling around the windows. |

I also have to think about how to finish the front porch. I thought of doing a covered gazebo at the end, but quite honestly, I just want the exterior hard scape to be done (meaning, I want to add all the decorative jewelry!). Here is a picture I found for inspiration . . .

Siding is a tedious job, but like so many tedious jobs on a dollhouse... So worth all of the effort and patience! It looks marvelous, and you are doing an excellent job! I hope you run out of siding, just for a day or so, so that you can refill the creative tank with a more satisfying task! Have fun!
