I also added the porch and bay foundation. These binder clips are great for this step. Just glue and clamp the foundation pieces to the tabs poking underneath the floor.
I primed the main first floor room. When I prime, I also paint the ceiling. Make sure you paint the bay roof now before you wallpaper because it will be very difficult to do it later.
I then stained the floors.
Wallpapering the main room will take more wallpaper that the average room because of the bays and all the twists and turns. It's also a fairly large room. Make sure you buy extra wallpaper for this room. I’m going to have to use a lot of trim to hide little defects in the wallpaper since a lot of patching is necessary.
I applied the windows to the bays. I also applied all of the exterior and interior bay window trims.
I assembled the door and clamped it for it to dry. After it was dry, I dry fitted it into the opening and of course, it's too small so I had to sand it down until it fit. I glued on the exterior and interior trim for it.
I’m still finding gaps and little holes here and there, which I’m spackling and then applying touch up paint to.
I began installing the kitchen bay. This bay would have been a piece of cake to put together but because the sill goes on first, due to the locking tab and slot feature, it makes the assembly quite difficult. I glued and clamped it together. The only advice I can give you for this bay is to follow the instructions very carefully because if you don’t, you won't be able to assemble it.
After it was dry, I painted it with the first coat. I have to spackle all the gaps and holes to paint it again. I also installed the roof trim.
