The heads on the tacks used in the above picture are TOO big but it was about to storm and these are what came out so we reused them. Plus because of the damaged to the edging on these corners (po opening and closing them) I did use some thin black butyl tape between the metals.

Now for the Birch I figured 13 sheets of 1/4 inch Birch for the interior (including wardrobe, benches and new kitchen facinc etc). I shellacked on a plastic covered pool table inside the house as I wanted it to dry in the AC . This is, one sheet raw, 1 sheet with one coat and one sheet with 3 coats Sanded lightly with sand paper between each coat. We decided on 3 coats but had the interior been larger, we would go with 4-5 coats of amber shellac.

I used flat screen trim where the sheets butted up across the ceiling.

Close up of the trim screws that I chose to use. I really like these little buttons as they dress the birch up without being too flashy.

I used 1/4 round (wood) on the corner seams. A 20 degree cut on the Horizontal flat trim where it butts upto the 1/4 round.

At this point Bo finished up the wiring for me . Oh and I used the jigsaw at top speed using a super fine blade for the wavy cut out. I found that it cut a lot neater if I cut it with the face side up.
