For my daughter’s 9th birthday, we bought her a Real Good Toys dollhouse kit. Since she enjoys projects like I do, we assembled it together, and we had a blast.
Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pics during the first 6-8 hours of the project – dying shingles, painting each part, gluing the walls together, and and installing some wall paper. Suffice it to say that it was a beast of a project. It took over a week to complete, but she and I were both very pleased with how things turned out.

Each window consists of 17 pieces which have been painted. Holding them in place while things dry.
My little helper. Here you can get a good feel for the size of the house.

This girl was great at installing shingles.
Looking good.
