The new light greys of the roof has really changed the appearance of the whole house, for the better I think. I had a nice compliment from my mom, she thought I had actually papered the roof. I hadn't even realized I used a color similar to roofing paper till then. I have been trying to make a list of all the things I need to make sure is included in my house so it has as many realistic features as a real home. I have a book of Home repairs I bought from Home Depot and so far on the exterior I am doing pretty well. I want to install gutters, electric and gas meters and a wall mounted garden hose. Besides landscaping that should finish the exterior of the house. I have set this house in winter but I am almost afraid to make it permanent with snow on the window ledges, roof and balcony. I am trying to think of ways to do it but have it be removable if I ever decide to change the season. I am thinking of experimenting with Saran Wrap. Putting the snow on that and then laying that where I want it. I have to think about that some more.
Clear plastic packaging would work well for the snow on the windowsills. I have a "spilled" potted plant on the porch of one of my houses and I used the clear plastic to glue the dirt and plant to. That way the plastic doesn't really show but I can move the stable assembly wherever I want it.
