Sear's kit house the "Solace"-- build challenge 2016

[ak-milw]

The next house for the neighborhood is another Sear's kit house. The "Solace" was offered between 1927 to 1930.



I need to order a few parts and will be starting on this shortly.

And Tom, I don't name them, I just work with what they give me.

I understood that, it was a little play on words on my part.

Got it!!

Main walls cut out using 1/16 thick basswood lap siding. I went with the 6 inch wide siding this time to make it a little different than the last house. They will be right next to each other on the layout. I also added the 6 inch end caps on the larger wall sections.



next step is add the foundation.

[ak-milw]

I have the foundation added to the lap siding walls. I used plain 1/16 thick basswood aprox. 3 feet tall. I will be covering this with the Micro-Mark stick on stone wall.



The windows I ordered have arrived so sorting them out will be next.

[ak-milw]

I will be using Tichy windows and doors. The windows in the prototype are 0ne over two. I bought two over two and clipped the top divider out to make the match.

Clever trick with the windows.
