Real Progress

This is what I have had in my mind for a long, long time!

It was fun to dry fit things together this morning. I'm building an atrium on the left.

Here is the upstairs with holes drilled in the floor for LED lights. Thanks Pepper for your great tutorial!

I'm excited to see my project coming together. There has been some real progress made!  :D

Hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for all of your sweet comments!  

Today's Project

Today's project is cutting the base and second floor for the coffee shop. 



I measured and marked my 1/4" plywood.  Then I read about jig saw blades to find out what size to use and started cutting.  I didn't notice that Dylan was asleep under my table!  I have no idea why he didn't move!?

Poor baby!

I can't cut a straight line with a jig saw to save my life! 

I remeasured.  Then I straightened my cuts with a utility knife.  Yes.  If you go slow and use new blades, you can cut thin plywood with a utility knife.  Where there is a will there is a way!

I dry fit the shop together.  So far, so good.  This is the new front door and the crown molding I'm using to attach the second floor.

Here is a peek at the apartment upstairs with one of the skylights.



I still have lots of work to do.  Hope you have a beautiful day!
