Year of the Dollhouse Progress Pics

Here are the photos from the work we did yesterday.

There are over 500 shingles that need to be stained and sealed for the roof. We did about 50 of them by hand, then decided that we were going to be there alllll night if we didn't do something else. So, I took a really old bread pan, and put the shingles in and poured the stain over them, let them soak a bit, and then we laid them out to dry on newspaper. After they dried a couple hours, we sealed them with clear acrylic spray. I think it will work. The ones in the pic that are not stained are the backsides of the ones we did by hand.

Today we will be putting the first coat on the clapboards. Think buttery yellow....pretty!
