Drip & Dry OR Dump &Clump?

The Dump and Clump Method
The Drip and Dry Method














At some point, it will become inevitable.  The roof must be shingled.  As I was working on some trim, I glanced ahead and saw the next adventure would be adding the roof.  Time to get cooking with the shingles.

I tried two approaches.  I am sure neither are approved by the dollhouse gurus.  First, I used what I'll call the "drip and dry" technique.  It worked well but still took quite sometime.  As it began to look like an imminent downpour, I decided to speed things up with what we'll call the "dump and clump" method.  It also worked fine, but the rain came and the shingle staining awaits for another day.

I've stained about 3/4 of the necessary shingles.

I'm sure you've noticed my tongs.  They were an investment from the Target dollar spot!
