Yay!! I know I've said this a million times, but I am excited to see what you come up with.

Struggling to get a turret roof centered. Need lunch...I'm facing away...back shortly. Oh, the suspense and anticipation...

That's one of the roof pieces I struggled with the most. I don't know if this will work or not, but what I tried is starting at the back left and pull to the right. Tried to make it as small as I could which ended up being 5x5 otherwise it didn't look right.

Your turret is bigger than mine so it wants to go to one side or the other. I just want to get all the roof piece on before I share any photos in case I have to change something. But it won't be long. I promise. :)

I completely understand. :)

I was looking at more houses with turrets and was thinking I might have made it too big, as it stands out more. Not like some other houses that have the turret closer to the main roof.

I started on a 20 x 30 lot then had to change to a 30 x 30 to accommodate the side porch. It can easily be dropped into the requested 30 x 40 lot.

So far the basic outline and roof is pretty close to what I was trying to achieve. Now I'm going shopping for windows and trim. :D

















I just noticed that the turret roof in the back was off kilter so I've fixed it.

Thank you. I know I'm just going to get more frustrated because I won't have access to the proper trim around the windows/doors.

But I went back to my favorite https://b-5studio.com and picked up some stuff that I had lost as well as some windows from Mutske. I want to finish the exterior before I start working on the inside floor plan.

I'm getting a security risk message when trying to visit the B-5Studio site. I have visited that site before, but it's been awhile. I'm using Firefox. I suppose I can try it with Chrome.

What Windows from Mutske will you be using?

Edited to Add:  Just tried Chrome and it's giving me a security risk message as well.
