todays efforts

We were able to finish the walls for Gregor's room today as well as put up the double door frame. the window header in gregors room is up but still a little odd so we're gonna sort it in the morning. hoping we get the 3x8 tomorrow and we'll be able to finish the final wall of the set :)
Would b nice if a few more people could come in though to help out?

Here's some pics from the last few days (sorry if some of them are the wrong way round, having trouble rotating them on here for some reason):




Hey Guys

Hey guy's hope everyone is well! I started the sofa today and asked everyone who was present about the way it should be made and decided to choose a decorative back. I'll show you some picture's once I upload them tomorrow! :) the set's looking awesome, and today was a great productive day. Bring on tomorrow!
Right, I've got the wallpaper for both rooms now. The ones I orginally went for in reality were to shiny and came off to modern, but I'm pleased with the ones I got. Hope you are to! X

Props

I bought a glass bowl that i will put on top of the coffee table with fruit or something in it.I also have a glass vase that i think would look really nice in the living room. I have purcahsed the 2 picture frames.One is black that i will spray paint gold for the gilded frame in gregors room and i have plain picture frame with an image of my grandad in the army to represent gregor to put in the living room. I have also found 2 images of a image of a lady in fur hat with a fur boa and fur muff to put in the frame. Hope these are okay with everyone.





Important

Hi Guys
Hope everyone had a good day and finished their essays, This note is kind of saying the same things Sarah has already said but I need you to know a few more things. As we only have 2 weeks left to build make and decorate its really important that your in and I know that some people have jobs but apart from that you all need to come in, the more people we have in the faster we get this finished, don't mean to be a pain but it would be really sad if it didn't get done by the 20th because we hadn't had enough of us in.
Also tomorrow I will be assigning everyone a job to do like wall paper or building something. I need to know what props are being bought and which are being made so people don't do a job that doesn't need doing. if you aren't coming in tomorrow please let me know.
please read this and let me know if your building or buying.

A = 2@ 4' b : 6' high
B = 1'6", 2'6", 2@4" all different heights

Important Notice!

Hey Guys,

We have only 2 weeks left to build this set as we need to move everything to Maidstone the flats are still not up. We need EVERY member of the group IN EVERYDAY so we can complete this build, NO Excuses unless valid reason and you MUST tell Jess, as far as I know you all have her number so there should be no problems contacting her.
Today the six of us who actually turned up didn't manage to achieve much as some of the flats had to be rebuilt several times as they did not fit. Tomorrow we will hopefully be able to fix these problems but it will be much easier and quicker work if everyone turns up and contributes there is no reason to be sitting down doing nothing. We will be starting at 10 please be there if you have a valid reason and you can't get in give Jess a text or I will be rather pissed at you and you will not like me when I get pissed!

Thankyou :)

Table

I bought this coffee table today at a boot sale for £4! bargain! i also bought a crystal bowl for 50p that i could put on top of the table. It ties in with the art deco style of the table and im really glad i found it! i am also on the look out for picture frames. For the image of the women with a feather boa i thought i could just search for an image on the internet and put it in the frame. For the picture of gregor in the army i have a black and white photo of my grandad in the army that i will use for it. Hope everyone is having a good easter :)
