Exterior Update to Build-Along



 I have some updates on the Build-Along project. It’s been slow and steady. I received an email from Real Good Toys informing that the photos are due in the first week of July and not August like I had thought.  This means I am REALLY behind.  I have two vacations scheduled before the due date, so I have really been working to complete the exterior of this Townhouse. Yes, I have changed it yet again and due to time constraints.  I may have to nix the SPA idea too. At this point I just want to complete the darn thing. If it hadn’t been for my indecisiveness in the first place, I would have been further along. I just got to make it work. Here is my work in progress: 


 I had to cut out new windows.

 Then  fill in the gaps with 3/8 inch thick MDF to match the frame.

 I was going to use cork board as bricks but time would not allow it. I remembered I had these wood strips and I could use them instead. Done. 

 I am happy with the way it is turning out.

 I cut out trim and added siding to the front (I don't think I will have time to do the sides).

 The exterior is shaping up!!

 Testing out different windows and doors for fun.

 I settled on these and decided the bay window need something more...and voila!! I am extremely satisfied with how things are turning out. Stay tuned more to come!

  3. WAUW! The exterior looks amazing. I like that you played around with different doors and windows. Two totally different looks. 10 days till the deadline!!! Hope you are on track! Looking forward to the end result.
