So I know it has been a while since I've updated this so I figured it was about time. I have remembered to at least take pictures...hope that counts for something...lol

Basically I haven't done much more than the last picture shows...just a bit more of the clapboard siding. Measuring and fitting the clapboard has taken a long time but I'm happy with the results. The siding is just taped in place at this time.

I've been in the planning stage most of this last week to two weeks. Making schematics of the house so I can plan the wiring, outlets, lighting and how I'm going to hide what I don't want seen. I also decided NOT to go with the battery lights I got. They weren't the ones I thought they were and would take a lot of rewiring and I just said to heck with it and got an official tapewire kit. I can use them on the outside for Christmas lights or something so they won't be wasted.
The trim on the bay windows and front porch glued and "clamped" in place.

Front view of the same.

First bit of clapboard on the side of the house. If your eyes are good you can also see the door knobs laying on the living room floor...lol

Front with clapboard taped in place. I still need to cut out the upper window but I needed to get a jeweler's jig saw because it has a rounded top. I was also trying out colors for the porch. The color is more green than what it shows in this photo and I want it more grey so though the color will be similar it won't be this exact color.

Porch and side view. Again I was trying out colors and I've decided against these but might be similar just a different hue...although it depends on my mood when I get to it I guess...lol Well that's it for now...enjoy the eye candy and be back later.
