Second row of pictures shows the rooms with floorboards laid and varnished.
Each board is laid individually. The fireplaces are wired in, so that they light up, as are all the lamps shown. The
wiring is run under floors or behind beams to keep the illusion of oil lamps.
The rooms are all wallpapered,
with the living room having a dado rail. The stove is my most expensive purchase to date but with Hoss visiting and
four children, Genny needs a big stove.

the wash house is a separate piece that
slots on to the end of the house around one of the chimneys - the door when it is done will open on to the back porch by the
kitchen
All the lighting is now finished and working - giving 24 lamps and fires which light up.
Finding furniture of the right
period that also fits the spaces between fireplaces and doors etc is a major challenge but an enjoyable one. Some pieces
are not quite right yet and will be adapted as I go along. Some may have to be built. I have assumed that having
lived in Boston for 5 years Adam and Genny would have brought a lot of their stylish furniture back with them and would not
be using much of the hand made items that they might have had when first married.

The back of the house is now complete, except for the roofing and
the addition of a rose or climber around the back door, and the bucket that Katy drank from before she chased the bunny (See
Duty Bound)
Both ends are complete, but there maybe additions to the yard.
The front has just been begun,
and the mdf has yet to get its windows and cladding and a porch..
