I've been spending time working on finishing the exterior of Pennethorne Manor. I've bricked up most of the foundation, but still have a bit more to do. I ran out of bricks (sigh) but I'm hoping to be able to 3D print the rest of what I need. I'm also hoping to print a cover for the electrical connections at the back of the house. It will likely be a custom piece so fingers crossed it works out. Printing it with bricks on it would be a bonus!
I'm also in the stages of figuring out how to attach trim pieces to the back of the house to cover edges and wires. This was hurting my brain, so I stepped away to work on the parterre garden.
The supplies I needed arrived today. Well, most of them. At least the foam arrived so I could prepare the hedges for the finishes. This too required brain power, but I think I got it in the end. A few of the inner part of the hedges look wonky, but hopefully when the stones and paint are on, you won't notice.
I also have a fountain picked out to print once our 3D printer arrives. I have so many projects lined up it's going to be a printing frenzy!
Here's the messy process of creating hedges for the parterre garden . . .

| Cutting edges to fit around the foam board. I plan to glue the hedges to the foam board. |

| This was a messy process! |
 |
| I have a plan . . . |
 |
| The hedges edges are glued together. I haven't attached them permanently to the foam board yet because I want to apply the stones and paint them before attaching them. |
 |
| After sculpting. They'll look much better when completed. I might also thin them out a bit . . . |
