 The finished eyebrow roof!

 

The fireplace side of the roof is done! 

 

The pre-built base with builder's foam was installed on the last day of class. The roofing is done minus roof flashing for the crestline. The windows in these photos are not installed, nor painted. They have just been slipped in for an idea of how it will look as I contemplate which color to paint them.
 Many Months Later...  
   

 

Flicker unit is from Grandad's Playroom which gives the lights the appearance of softly flickering.

SWP Variable Flicker/Shimmer Unit. Two outputs (for differing rates of flicker) as well as dimmers to alter brightness on each channel.

  

Complete! Done! It works! After many months of procrastination, I have completed my first "solo" electrification project. Much help from my technically inclined husband, but now I think I could handle it on my own.

Total time to electrify the dollhouse was about 5 hours, much of it devoted to the learning curve...
