Sorry for any weirdness that results!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Just did a tiny bit of work today. First I stained the bottom of the porch (realizing a teeny tiny lip would show if the house were displayed on a glass table and someone got down on the floor and looked up at the bottom of it&#8230; okay, I&#8217;m anal!) and the porch foundation pieces.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/dollhouse\/arthur\/arthur08.jpg\" style=\"margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px\"><\/div>\n<p>A few hours later, after the stain had (mostly) dried, I glued the porch foundation pieces together. I think I found a mistake in the instructions. They say that the side pieces and front piece of the porch foundation should have tabs and slots that interlock, but those pieces don&#8217;t have tabs or slots. They do in the pictures on the box, but not in the kit I have. Maybe a change was made to the dies when Greenleaf retooled this kit, but the instructions were never updated. Anyway, I glued in wooden blocks for support again, because as we have learned gluing little pieces of plywood at perfect right angles is NOT my forte!<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/dollhouse\/arthur\/arthur09.jpg\" style=\"margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px\"><\/div>\n<p>Unfortunately, I&#8217;m running out of little wooden blocks!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for the time being. I will glue the porch foundation on to the bottom of the porch before I go to work tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 2015: I started the Arthur as part of a Greenleaf community build in 2005, and at the time we blogged our progress on the Greenleaf forum.
