Finishing Up

Finishing Up

    This week I've finished the loft floor and begun the roof sheeting. The house is looking great and even better than I imagined. I'm very pleased with the result after all this time and work. Next week I will be finishing up and hopefully done. Now I can begin to think about my next project which is to build a house from my own plans.

House Assembly

   This week I've begun the construction of my model A-Frame house. Like I've expected all along it's really beginning to look great. As I raise the walls I begin to see the different rooms and the makings of a real house. The loft subfloor, remaining A-Frames and roof sheets still have to go up. I should be done very soon and I am very excited to see the finished product.

Spiral Stair Case

Spiral Stair Case

    This week I've made significant progress on the spiral staircase for my A-Frame model house. It's a very slow and complicated process as each stair must be glued seperately. It is about halfway completed and I can begin to see the spiral stair case look. I can't wait to see the stair case as part of the house and how it fits in. This should be the last peice before I begin to peice the different components of the house together.

    This week I begin on the last thing I have to construct and it is the spiral stair case. I have assembled all of the seperate stairs and now they have to be welded (glued) to the center pole. The project is really coming together as I have to walls already set in place on the floor plan. I'm excited to finish, not because I want to be done, but because I am excited to see the final product. It's been tough but I'm almost there, almost done. I should have the stair case finished by this Friday as well.

A-Frame Model House

A-Frame Model House

    This week I have been working on wall frames and structures. Even though I am working on a small scale model it looks very similar to the real frame and structure of a house. I've watched a video of a house being built and it closely resembles my project but on a much larger scale of course. I find it very interesting and I'm really enjoying this project. I can see the finished product and it is not too far away.

Finished Floor

Finished Floor

This week I finished the floor plan and it looks really nice. Now I can finally move onto constructing the house. I can't wait to see it all come together and have a nice finished peice. I'm really enjoying this project. The next step would be to construct the interior of the house including the spiral staircase.

The Floor Plan

The Floor Plan

This week I've been working on the floor plan for the A-Frame house. I've cut the pieces for almost the whole plan but have yet to put it together. The floor plan is tough because it needs to be nailed and not glued and the nails are small and fall out easily. It looks like this project will take longer than what I was hoping but I was very hopeful in the first place. The project will be finished most likely one to two weeks after winter break. I still can see it all coming together and I can't wait until I have a nice finished project.
