Building The Greenleaf Pierce Day 4 Electrical Eplained

Henry is up and working full force tonight! First he drew a line where he would like to cut so that he could create a Channel for the wire to go. This is for the kitchen light. He made a V shaped channel (Don't cut too deep because this is thin plywood).



Henry then added some quick grip glue and put the wire flat in this channel. He then drilled a hole out through the front wall because that is where he will feed the wire through. The Quick Grip fills the Channel and add the stability & strength back into the floor



Henry then added tape over the wire to help keep this flush while it dries. Henry Father is reading some important information to Henry (Nope, you'll never catch him doing any work that will get him dirty)



Bathroom Wall Partition

Henry is putting up the wall partition for the bathroom.  *Side note to Laura Lena's Mom* I am not sure if you want me to put Tile floors in this room. Is Lena sure she wants this room to be a bathroom or do she want a room upstairs on the third floor to be the bathroom? I have the white tile floor for the bathroom and I was gonna paint the walls a pale lavender and have Purple violets painted on the walls. Baseboard & trim was gonna be a darker Purple (I am not sure of the space in the attic). Does she even want a bathroom? Let me know.



Bedroom floor


Henry installed the hardwood floors for the 2nd bedroom. He is so proud of himself. I put 2 clear coats of varnish on top of this floor (2nd picture below). I sanded the floors after the first coat dried.



Birds Eye View Wallpaper & Carpet for Bedroom #1
I am painting the trim Plum in here to go with the color in the wallpaper. This is a better shot of Bedroom #1 Now, you can see how the wall is wrapped around the stairs. The banister still peeks through. I think this is such a cool layout!!

Building Walls To The Greenleaf Pierce - Day 3

Day 1
I added the Kitchen and dinning room wall and the front wall today. I am waiting for the hardwood floors to come in. Once it does, I will install the floors, then move forward. Meanwhile, I started adding the wallapers I have on hand to the rooms they will go in. Most times, I add the wallapers and floors and lights as I build. You will notice this as you watch this kit come together.







Day 3

I finally got the first shipment of things ordered. This one had the floors. I installed, stained and then I made Henry Sand them. I stained them again because the fumes were too strong for Henry. After that, I put 2 light coats of Varnish on them. I also satined the staircase. As you can see, I started the wallpaper downstairs. That's Right, Henry Picked out and Put up the Wallpaper here. He is so proud of his work.







Kitchen wallpaper

The Kitchen wall paper Has been added too. There will be wood added to the bottom of the kitchen walls




Other Pierce walls


Now the other front wall has been added and the 2nd floor. Of course there will be trim but that always goes on last ;) You can see the wonderful paper added to the ceilings. The tape is holding everything together while the glue dries






This is the second Floor



Adding The Lights 
Now I will add the lights to the 1st floor before I add hardwood to the 2nd floor. Details on how this was done can be read later on because I don't want to add too many pictures to this post right now. But at this point, they are added.  This is the adding lights link on how I did this



The Kitchen
The kitchen is pretty much almost finished (missing the back wall but I can do that until I start the 3rd floor) Lena, do you like this light fixture? Let me know dear.  You can also see I finished up a lot of the trim work in the kitchen.




Another entryway to the dinning room

This is the entryway under the stairs that lead from the front door. I didn't realize it was there until I built it. This kit is just like a real life house. Full of nooks and crannies!




This is all for today! See More Pictures of Day 3 Here or Go to on to Day 4 of this Pierce Dollhouse build!
