Don't Mess with Aileen...She Means Business

In working on the foundation, the first actual part of the project that actually feels like I'm building a house, I learned another valuable lesson.  The glue I've been using works great (and I had tons left over from a Theater Arts lesson, so it wasn't an added expense).  It works so great that the foundation was glued to my glass dining room table due to an over zealous application of the glue.

Maybe I should back up...

The dollhouse I'm building is probably rivaling the square footage to my actual (small) home.  This makes a large work space and work surface hard to secure.  I'm currently building in the guest room on a console table, a nearby shoe organizer and a chest of drawers.  (I can reach all 3 of each of these pieces of furniture from the stool on which I perch.)  Sometimes, the project moves to the kitchen, but that not a good dedicated workspace.  When I put the actual foundation together, I realized that there wasn't adequate space in the guest room and the kitchen was in use, so off to the dining room table I went.

Back to the over zealous glue...

So, I glued and glued.  I mean this is important--the FOUNDATION!  So, of course it needed an extra squirt of Aileen's Tacky Glue.  I taped it and clamped it and let it set over night.  The next morning it was nice and firmly attached...to the dining room table.  With a lot of not so glamorous yanking, it was removed with minimal damage.  Nothing that more glue couldn't fix.  From the earlier dining room table incident, I learned that Aileen is one tough cookie who means business.
