And I bet yo...How amazing that it only took 4 days! And I bet you'll beat me on scraping and restoring the outside - mine is sitting there papered and furnished (and inhabited) inside, and still half scraped on the outside.<br />I'm pretty sure the flat roof didn't have paper - mine doesn't, it was originally a grey-black colour (most of it's still there, just needs a bit of touching up). And I'm pretty sure Marel told me hers was painted too. Tile paper on the sloping bits, and dark grey paint on the flat bit. (Perhaps it's meant to be tar paper, or something? I guess you wouldn't put tiles on a flat roof, would you?)<br />Hope you show us your progress - you can inspire me, especially the way you just take it apart, scrape and restore, and put it back together! I've been scraping the door still in place - but it is going to get quite awkward, so I guess I should follow your example and unscrew it!!<br />And congratulations on your coming great-grandchild!

(there aren't enough exclamation marks to express how exciting this is!)I had actually saved the pics from the auction won by the other forum member because I was so taken with this house before I knew who had won it. And to become a great grandmother on top of everything! Does life get any better. :~)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187758225608823908noreply@blogger.com
