Shenandoah is on the table....

Well, we brought the Shenandoah upstairs last night. We have a few finishing touches to do today... and of course we need to glue the porch roof back on.... and a few trim pieces that fell. It needs a good dusting. I am excited to get started on it this morning.... I will try to get some photos of it today... There is very little to do on this one so it will be a quick fix up, and it will return to the craft room sometime tomorrow after the glue is completely dried.

Calm before the storm.....

We are relaxing today waiting for the storm to hit. The Meterologists are predicting about 1- 6 inches here by tomorrow morning. Windchills will drop to about -20 by Tuesday. 
We went out this morning for bread and milk, considering the schools will probably call Snow Days !!!  It is currently raining.... and should start snowing very soon. 
I will be bring The Shenandoah Log cabin upstairs to the Dining room to reglue the front porch roof on. During our big move of the Basement, my youngest son grabbed the roof of the house and it pulled loose. The Shenandoah  is his.... and he wants it  finished as a Hunting cabin. We will be making all the Furnishings for it... I will do my best to blog our progress.... Currently it has the wood furniture that came with the kit... we will be dressing that up a bit... adding blankets and hunting accessories.

The Shenandoah Log cabin is made from MDF. I am not a big fan of the MDF, it is not stainable like wood. We used different shades of brown on the wood to make it look like wood. The Chinking in between the slats is watered down drywall mud, it was a messy process but it looks good. We used a medicene syringe to distribute the mud in the cracks.  The porch floor is make from egg cartons.
