Cousin Brucie,

Thank you for the kind words of support on the build. I have the spot of real estate staked off and will show it later. Talk to you later this evening.

The four walls were weathered to the point I felt comfortable enough in gluing the two front walls together.

First, I stained some scale 2X8s and painted them the wall color. This was added as a trim piece at the top of the front and two side walls.

If you decided to do this on your model, be sure you leave plenty of trim on the sides of the front wall. This will fit over the trim boards on each side wall. After the walls are glued then the trim can be trimmed.





Back in a few. I find myself in need of a very cold Diet Pepsi.
