As I suspected, removing the petrol pumps from the front was an easy job
and I removed the horrible, clunky, over scaled stairs with a little more persuasion (involving a kitchen knife and a hefty, well placed, kick!)
I wiped the house down and cleaned the mess and sticker off the balcony
then removed the heart stickers from the side (they came off easily so I thought I might keep them for a future project...)
Next I enlisted the ever helpful Wendy to check scale
I already knew the doorways would have to be enlarged to bring them to scale
and I'll either have to cover up the side windows or turn them into a feature by cutting another identical one above this one.I pulled out a box of bits from the back of the miniature supplies cupboard and discovered things I forgot I had. This bracing wasn't one of them: it was the whole reason I went looking for the box in the first place:
I suspected I had some corrugated iron buried somewhere, but had forgotten about the fretwork bookmarks I'd picked up in Singapore: 
I was tempted to buy commercial french doors for the doorway to the balcony but am thinking it'd be more fun to do the whole thing on a shoestring to match the cost of the building...(And yes, I know I should be working on the gallery space for the exhibition: consider this the three dimensional equivalent of a blind contour drawing, OK?)

It is a FACT that while your hands are busy sorting this out, your brain is free to organise the exhibition space. win win.
