Thank you :-D (Now if only you lived closer: I need to get a couple more roof beams cut for the pergolas.)<br /><br />Oh: and I plan to use Weldbond. Stop me now if that's a dumb idea...<br /><br />Mad for Mod: Thank you for making my day, it was like a sign that I should stick to what I enjoy in future. Although I guess learning new things is handy.<br /><br />Kitty and Kat: Bugger a cup of tea. A friend and I drank sparkling wine and I realised that even stepping back from it for a few hours helped gain perspective. I should have remembered that everyone looks at their own projects too closely when they're working on them and therefore all the mistakes look HUGE. And once the project is done no one really notices them. :-)<br />AMCSviatkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848473565900991762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21937722.post-29125448207561054202015-11-18T04:22:09.943+11:002015-11-18T04:22:09.943+11:00First solution - stop dry fitting for now. Second,...First solution - stop dry fitting for now. Second, a cup of tea and cookies are needed next time you work on the build. I actually like that the windows fit the way they do. If you frame them out with some wood strips you will have a nice sill to place plants and bits on, or hang a plant inside the frame. <br /><br />The worst part is always the walls and structural parts. Push through! You can do it! Then it's decorating fun.....think of all the mini scenes you can make in that place. kittyandkatminiatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793964941113725631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21937722.post-68270873083169557292015-11-18T01:33:18.462+11:002015-11-18T01:33:18.462+11:00I ran into this problem too.

Just make sure your roof beams are trimmed accordingly or they'll stick out from under the roof a little bit.<br /><br />My windows didn't fit perfectly either but with a little bit of strip wood to build the frame up into the house they look great. My siding kept curling upwards... drove me crazy until I got the right kind of glue. Then you just have to wait to let it dry. Not my favorite thing.<br /><br />I'm rooting for you. Give yourself a little break and refresher to breathe and I bet you'll be ready to get back to it.

That...Frustrating when you have days like this. That's why I ended up changing my whole idea for the build. Nothing was fitting right. Although my secret build is going much better.;-) I'm with Pepper for the windows, but It might be easier to cut a straight line across the back wall to make it fit. You'll figure it out. Sometimes you just need a little break to think it through. Glad the package got to you in tact!Mad For Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426614584996572445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21937722.post-60914442194952158362015-11-17T18:49:51.038+11:002015-11-17T18:49:51.038+11:00I would cut off the 'tabs' from the rear c...I would cut off the 'tabs' from the rear cross beam rather than cut the whole rear wall to make it fit. That way you can move the beam and arched rafters forward a little and glue them to the back wall. The back wall will support the side walls, since it sits inbetween them and the weatherboard will cover the 'tab' holes. For the windows, I would add some beading (strips of wood) to the inside to add to the thickness of the window frame so that it's flush to the wall. What glue are you using for the weatherboard? It has to be wood glue, not shitty superglue or anything that just puts a film on the surface of the wood.<br /><br />You'll get there in your own, problem solving way. I'm rooting for you *looks for pom-poms*<br />X Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777217200629685759noreply@blogger.com
