Finally the big day arrived when the walls could be glued together and the room would actually become a standing structure!! I was very excited!
Although there is a 3mm lip around the floor, gluing the sheets of 3mm wood together didn't seem to be sturdy enough so luckily in my stash of leftovers from my Greenleaf house I had these corner strips. I could reinforce the corners with these. First I colored them with the Goldenrod Prismacolor marker and then cut and glued them to the side walls.
Then the walls were put together! I needed four hands (thanks Mom!) and they came together quite well.
The wall with the big window has a slight warp inward so I tried to get it as flat as possible again the corner piece. Ah well, there's a very slight wave.
And then the third wall was added! A room, finally! All the days of piece work came together and it felt wonderful!
Ta-da!
Next: Finishing the wainscoting, baseboards and chair rail.
