In my last post, Babette started making and applying the bricks to be used on this spooky house. Today, after all were attached, she started the process of distressing and applying the different colors of paint to these bricks in an effort to make them look old or more moldy looking; you know, like a real house, or at least like those in the Houston area. Here you can see the transformation of the bricks underneath the front porch area right over the new basement windows.
From another angle, here is the foundation area underneath the new tower, and front porch area. Wow she's good, they're really starting to look almost like actual brick. Maybe Babette should join the brick layers union. 🤣
Her final magic on the brickwork for today's post was the chimney, and you know, this piece is starting to look like the real thing. Babette's doing a great job in transforming this house into what she originally envisioned.
We're getting closer to completion. It won't be long before all we will have left to do on this house are the actual outside decorations. Installation of the spooky orange lights is also right around the corner, and I for one, am anxious to see that neat affect.
As you can see below, Babette has also started to re-shingle the roof. That part, along with the new siding, will be completed by my next post. In addition, I also plan to make and attach the cellar door entry so it can be added to the side of the house.
So, these pics may be the last ones you will see showing the blue paint .... I hope. What's next ... I do not know, but we will find out soon! 😁
