O'Neils Mercantile & Repair

Does Tabatha do business out of the back door?

Sometimes since her building is behind (or will be when built) the store.

Mike thank you. It's a little tedious but I do like the look when finished.

Kyle thanks hoping this will be another fun build.

Philip thank you; something a little different.

Just to prove I'm not goofing off:



Between doing some yard work, first time I can ever remember starting it in March, and waiting for my windows and posts this wall took longer than I had expected it would. This wall was built the same as the other two so no need to rehash that. I did opt to go with a smaller window on the first floor so I can add a workbench under it and details galore. Obviously I'll be building a landing or two along with stairs; watch out the first step is a long one.



A little bit different view. The windows/doors have acetate for glass and the interior of the building blacked out with black paper. I wanted to add some window shades as another little detail. Next will be to construct the fourth and final wall for the Mercantile. The bottom floor will be windowless so I can add a shed on the side of it while the second floor will have two long windows. I'm excited about actually seeing the building together with a roof on it.

Thanks for stopping by and look forward to your comments and/or suggestions.

Larry,

Fine work on the siding.  As you say, tedious, but worth the effort when it turns out so nice.

Next time, you might leave some space under the door openings to account for the sill, which goes around the perimeter of the house, even under doors.

Curt and Rick thank you both so much.

Michael thanks. Funny you should mention the door sill; I was debating wether or not to include it. The landing will be going under the door so I don't think that will be an issue; if it is then I'll change it.
