Building the Beachside Bungalow part 05

 

Watch the video here.

This week we start out with gluing the front of the house to the shell. I was really worried that things wouldn't line up correctly since I couldn't actually check inside the house the way I had it laying on my table. I did my best to look as much as I could and I was somewhat confident that it was lined up. So when I turned it over to that yes, it had indeed lined up really well I was very happy.

Since this area was easy to line up and gravity was working with me instead of against me I didn't feel the need to use my “2-glue” method.

Same with when we go the point of gluing the shell to the foundation, gravity helped to hold until I could add weights. And once again I am very happy with the way everything lined up. It is really starting to look like a house.

I decided to go ahead and do the marking of the roof pieces for the shingles today too. It needs to be done before we glue the pieces onto the house. I am holding off on priming the outside roof pieces because I just haven't decided what color my roof will be. I want to make sure I prime the roof in a color that is close to the color of the shingles. That is just in case my shingles don't line up perfectly I didn't want white primer showing between my shingles. Right now I am leaning toward a gray tone for my roof but I haven't decided. I think once I paint the outside of the house I will put a poll up on the Facebook page and have you guys let me know what you all think.

Note from future me:

If you are reading this now, I just want to say I actually marked the wrong side of the front roof piece and the porch roof piece. I'll explain more about that in part 9 of this series, (should be released on April 11, 2021)
