The start - originally the fire was going to go on the right hand side up behind the fireplace, you can see the card template next to the fireplace template. There will be a little garden at the side

But to save space, I decided to put the stairs in the middle, thereby making an under stairs cupboard for the kitchen (pokey nooks and crannies already taking shape)

I am quite proud of these stairs, they were made from card, as I couldn't fit any stairs that would be slim enough for a tiny cottage (have any of you ever walked up stairs in one of these old cottages, they used to fit stairs in anywhere)

Here is a view with the dividing wall in place

Here are the ceiling beams for the kitchen and downstairs room

The finished kitchen before the next floor goes on.Note the 'knocked out' chimney breast, this is where the Aga is going

Here is the living room ready for the fireplace.

The next floor ready for the walls, note the wood filling. My hand is not very steady with a saw, but old cottages are generally wonky with lots of drafts so, it all adds to the realism !!

The bedroom and bathroom before the landing walls go in. Fireplaces installed and landing bannisters.

View inside the bedroom, more lovely pokey corners.

View of bathroom, note 'boxed in' pipes, and the cupboard under the stairs houses the immersion heater.

You can see the immersion heater through the open door, and the fake stairs go up around the back of the landing into the attic. 

This is the finished 4 rooms, its the attics turn next.

The roof has been attached.

Here is the finished attic, with resident fairy. The door does not open. 

This is the two front panels before they are attached. now the garden needs to be worked on and the thatched roof
