Barn "Bee" update








Okay, so we have opened the box and boy do they have lots and lots and lots of parts.


(reminds me of the Xmas when my older daughter got a Barbie camper from one of my family "with some assembly required". ....... grrrrr)


Actually, to be honest, I think this might be something that comes together very decently.

The kit is well laid out and I am very impressed with how sturdy the pieces are. The walls are milled with the "clapboard siding" on the outside.


Step 1 - glue two end walls on the base with...... white glue?????....... is this really gonna hold?
Pictures above show step one in progress.

The Barn "Bee"


Remember the old fashioned quilting bees they used to have..........well me neither but it seemed like a good way to start this post.


Being the good parents that we are, my husband and I went to the miniature dollhouse store on the weekend to "look" at the barn kit we were interested in for our daughter. (I really went to ohhh and ahhhh over everything)


Here is the completed version that the company uses on the website.


I will post the "stages" as we put this together.

BTW - did I mention that my daughter is already googling how to make the proper scale tack (read bridle and saddle) for her horses.

We had to tell her to be gentle with her parents or none of it may ever get done. LOL
