| By this point in the project, Scott and Nikki have had to do some improvising. These panels for the roof didn't want to stand up straight on their own while the glue dried so Scott rigged something up to keep them in place. |
| Here we have the roof temporarily in place and the floor to the porch is in. You will also see a doorway on the 2nd floor. This door leads out onto a balcony. Scott and Nikki decided that instead of using the regular door that came with the kit, they would use the french door we had purchased for elsewhere in the house, as the door for the balcony. That has been a great thing about building this house, we've been able to get creative and tweak things to our liking. |

We had some issues to deal with and discovered that we needed to make some modifications.

The house didn't come with stairs leading to the attic space and since we're probably putting the children's bedroom up there we decided to put in some stairs. We haven't actually done it yet, but it is on the list. Something else Scott is doing is putting in interior doors. The plans don't call for them, they just have plain openings in the walls for the doorways. Scott thought it would be nicer to dress it up a bit. |
