A Painted House - The San Franciscan

I started dry-fitting today! The first picture shows the base (or "footprint" of the house. The beveled sides on the left are the front of the house. The second picture shows a picture of one boring, blank wall that I will be adding a chimney to. I took the second picture primarily as proof that I am, in fact, still working on it.





That streaky white on the walls is sanding sealer, not the paint I am using. At this stage it kind of reminds me of the house in John Grisham's "A Painted House". I have plans to add something to the other side wall that has nothing in it, but I'm not sure what's going to come of that yet. I've realized that the solid walls bother me considerably more than they did when I did a Dura-Craft house as a teenager. 

Anyway, this might be the last picture for a couple days. I'm going to make a major push to get the sides painted and stabilized before any more exciting news.
