Surplus Coffee Stirrers available at cost by Cathy Weeks
Hi, I couldn't find coffee stirrers locally, so I bought them online. The only drawback is that I had to buy an entire case. Here's where I bought them: http://www.instawares.com/Stirrer-Coffee-Wooden.COFFEE.0.7.htm My total cost was $10.04 plus $7.60 in shipping for a total of $17.64. That...

There has got to be an easier way to do shingles by Cathy Weeks
I dyed the shingles for the cottage today. The good news is that they are turning out to be a lovely shade of reddish brown, reminicent of cedar. However, it was a horrible job! They only soaked in the dye for a minute or so, but they stuck together, and I didn't think they'd turn out well if...

Shingles at junction of gable and roof by Cathy Weeks
Shingling is going well. I was worried that I'd find it tedious (especially after the experience of staining them), but it's rather zen-like, and I enjoy it, and seeing the progress. Shingles in the junction of gable and roof are also going fine... My question is more hypothetical...what's to keep...

Possible supply source by Retiredff

Miniature Ivy? by Cathy Weeks
Has anyone ever put a bunch of ivy on the outside of a house? My searches of most sites turned up wallpaper with ivy patterns or potted plants, not long vines. I thought about using dark green wire, but getting tiny leaves to stick to it seemed like a pain. Cathy Weeks

Kit or Homeade? by Jennie
So I am curious, purchased kit or homeade project (with plans or without?)? I have done both. I did a cheap Greenleaf kit, then built my current project without plans (tough). I also built my daughter a 'barbie' scale house that is too tall for her. It was fun and so much easier then the little...

More copper flashing questions by Cathy Weeks
Would Victorians have used copper flashing around the base of a stone chimney? Or would someone in the current times - if they had a victorian cottage they were restoring - would they use copper flashing around a stone chimney? In my web research I've seen lots of photos of flashing around...

painting a paneled door neatly? by Cathy Weeks
The cottage has a pre-assembled door, which in my opinion, is no favor. It's got four panels on each side, that have already been glued down (and tightly, so I can't pop them off). I painted around the panels, but I have no idea how to get the edges of the panels painted without ruining the...

Nail holes in hardwood floors? by Cathy Weeks
Ok... I started on one of the floors with the coffee stirrers. I read somewhere that you should put two tiny indents at the end of each board, so that the stain would darken them, and simulate nail holes. However, I looked at my real hardwood floor, and it doesn't have them. And the sheets of...

Wallpapering directly to walls or to posterboard first? by Cathy Weeks
I had an idea about wallpapering - it's going to be difficult working in such enclosed spaces, (though the gable is done already - I did that portion prior to assembly - I KNEW I'd never be able to get inside there) and I was wondering how I was going to hide some of my (ahem) messy electrical tape...
