OF WINDOWS AND DOORS

I collected my windows and doors yesterday from the Post and as soon as I opened the box and viewed the contents my heart plummeted, The windows I opted for were the Grandt Line in G scale; but these are way too big for the existing openings. The doors on the other hand look way too small.

Since I spent the princely sum of US $75 for doors and windows I cannot afford to not use them. The solution of course is to make the openings larger. Today I spent the most painful and frustrating day enlarging the window openings. I also had to repeat this exercise for the internal door openings because these were also way too small for the doors I purchased for them. I get the feeling that all 'G' or 1/2" scale are not uniformed.


These are the troublesome windows and the internal doors:

My fingers are quite sore and I did get a few nicks on my right thumb from the knife I used to neaten the edges of the altered window openings.

I have started to acquire a few pieces of furniture and this I realize is going to be an expensive undertaking. Since I do not have the skill or tools to make high end furniture I will have to hunt down every bargain I can find on the NET,
