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. After a few site upgrades the old community blog has become hard to link to and I\u2019m redoing my website anyway, so I decided to move those posts over here and backdate them. Sorry for any weirdness that results!<\/em><\/p>\n

Again, didn’t have any time to work on the house during the week. Now that it’s the weekend I’m hoping to get a bunch done. Didn’t get off to a good start though. The last work I did was on Tuesday, when I glued the left and right parts of the front roof onto the house. (I deviated from the directions a little… they say to put the second floor partition in first, but since I didn’t punch out the hole for the stairs, I didn’t have a slot to put the partition into. Gluing the roof pieces on provided some stability for the second floor partition.)<\/p>\n

Last night (Friday) I glued in the second floor partition. Since I didn’t punch out the hole for the stairs, this meant I didn’t have a slot for the partition to fit into. So, I cut off the tab with my utility knife. Of course, this meant I was up against the same problem as with the foundation… gluing a very thin piece of plywood onto the floor. Then I made a little mistake. I glued the partition in backwards, so the sloped part was up against the wall rather than facing out. There’s no excuse for this… I just didn’t read the directions carefully. Last night as I was falling asleep it occurred to me that the sloped part should be facing out so it would butt up against the roof…<\/p>\n

So, the first thing I did this morning was wiggle the partition out so I could glue it in again. The glue set nicely and it took a little work with the utility knife to get the wall out, but nothing got broken and it was relatively painless. Now it’s gluing in again… the right way this time!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I put the roof on the back temporarily, to help weight down the partition while the glue sets. Always knew Shakespeare would come in handy one of these days! [Note: I’m still making that Shakespeare joke ten years later. Har, har.]<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

When that has glued, I plan to move right to gluing on the gable roof pieces. The instructions say to glue on the back roof first, but I’m going to skip that for now. I want to wallpaper inside before I glue that part on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
