I hit a snag on the stairs and won't be able to finish them the way I'd like until I can get some more supplies. But I wanted to keep working on the dollhouse, so I did a dry-fit of the roofs. What I discovered is that one of my walls is pretty badly warped, and several of the tab-and-slots didn't fit together very well. We trimmed things down and got most of the pieces together okay. The warped wall will need to be strongly clamped when we glue it on, but I think it will turn out alright.
Part of the reason I wanted to fit the roofs was to get a better idea of how it all goes together so I can decide whether to make some changes to the tower & roof. There's a little room at the top of the tower that is closed off from the rest of the attic if you build the kit according to plan, and I think that's just silly. I think we're going to cut a hole in one side of the roof to make that room accessible so we'll need to make some changes to the tower walls too.
It's starting to look a little more like a house now, but there's still so much left to do...
