The Fairfield: A Roof at Long Last

I finally dragged The Haunted Fairfield out of semi-retirement to finish off attaching the roof and applying floorboards to the porch.  I had lost one of the roof pieces so when I found it (whilst looking for semething else of course), I decided to just glue it all together.

I also decided not to use the original pieces that came with the tower and use kraft board instead so that I could bend it into the slight curve it has while gluing it more easily.

I then reinforced the edges and joins with paper tape.

And undercoated it in black.

I was going to move onto the porch but I discovered that I've lost a porch post so I will have to order more.  I can't deal with shingling just yet, so this will probably be put away for another couple of months until I am more motivated lol.

The Cozy Cat Complete: Part 2

 I completed this project in April 2021, after picking it up and letting it slide numerous times!  Although I had a few issues with it, overall I was quite happy with the end product.

I made it for my eldest daughter, who shares my love of books and cats, hence The Cozy Cat!

The Cozy Cat Bookstore and Cafe Complete: Part 1

 I completed the Bookstore around a year ago, but because I am a bad blogger I never got around to posting it here.

I am pretty happy with the result.  It was made for my eldest daughter and she was pretty happy with it too and that's what matters most!

In this post I will quickly post some photos of the facade, and then the interior, next post.  Please excuse the glare on the photos!
