Building the Beachside Bungalow part 03

This week we are continuing the work on the Beachside Bungalow, specifically the front porch. We start by priming the porch floor. I got to use my new mini paint roller and tray that I picked up at Walmart. I am really impressed with how well it works and we will be using it a lot next week. I also shared my favorite tip for paint rollers, that is to wrap and freeze them between uses. There is a lot of paint soaked into the roller cover and I had to wast it by washing the roller out each time. By freezing it I can wait until I am done to deal with it.

Then we glue the porch floor to the foundation that we put together in an earlier video. As per the instructions I temporarily taped the main floor to the foundation just to keep everything square.Be sure to add some weight to the porch floor to make sure everything stays in place while the glue dries. 

The last job this week was to cover the porch, foundation, and porch post bases all with a base coat that will match the finish coat I am going to use on them.

I did go back and give those all a second coat off camera. They are looking great. I did forget to do the front step, I will catch it up to the rest of the porch off camera.

Next week we will be moving to building the main body of the dollhouse. I am so excited to see this come together. It doesn't matter to me how many times I have built dollhouses I always get excited watching them come together.
