Bubbies was given the Castle and Super kept the Light House. Super choose pink and I added the purple for a bit more contrast and color. He had fun painting his light house and even painted the inside.
I’m sorry I didn’t think to take pictures before or during the planning and cutting process. I used a pencil to draw out the bottom shape of the doors. I did draw the door all the way to the bottom of the bird house. The door seemed too big for the small house, so I shortened it and now we can add little steps. I used my Husband's Dremel to cut both doors. For the castle I used 2 red cutting discs to cut the door out. The light house walls were thicker and I didn't think the cutting discs would work as well. I thought using a drill to remove as much material as possible would be the easiest way to cut the door out. I then tried to use another cutting disc to remove excess wood from the entry way but I was cutting into the surrounding walls and didn’t want that. So out came my trusty X-cato knife and it worked like a charm to shave away excess wood. I then sanded each entry way until they were smooth.
I also have a small pond, bird house, and light in the works.
