as farrell wrote on her post, we got a lot of things done tonight. I came back in a little later and jan had just painted the outside of the box black and attached the door to the set. I made red curtains for the window that opens to the kitchen. We tried to take the family portrait but i didn't realize my camera was dead so we'll have to do it tomorrow. We also realized that we need to construct a frame for the bottom of the set with the pieces of wood on the sides extending back a few inches so that we can clamp the set to the sawhorses we plan to use to elevate it. That will secure the set, which will be quite heavy in the front once we attach the wooden frame.
