A-Frame Cabin 🏠 4.0

Hi there! :brown_heart:

Day four of building! I didn’t make as much progress today; it just wasn’t my day. I got a bit overwhelmed and had to stop because everything was going wrong.

I really thought I’d finish it today, but I got stressed out as soon as I reached the log section.

These logs have been stressing me out—the side stickers keep peeling off; there’s just no way to get them right… I spent ages on it, and in the end, they didn’t even turn out straight. I was on the verge of throwing the whole thing in the trash, but I decided to stop building for now and pick it up again tomorrow.

On top of that, I once again had to deal with my enemy: the wire.

and plants… basically a construction day—not exactly fun, haha.

That’s all I built today… the plants turned out terrible, and the logs—well, I’ll use them, but they didn’t come out right… and I don’t want to redo them; they stressed me out too much. But if I see a future kit that requires logs like that, it’s better to glue the sides together—it saves a lot of work.

By the way, most kits state that they don’t require glue, but I always end up using it anyway.

I don’t know if it’s too much to ask, but it would be ideal if all the kits at least included that basic glue—the one in the white and orange bottle—since customs actually allows that kind.

That would be a wonderful gesture!

I learned that I always need to use glue especially if the parts are kind of loose. :blush:

Can you find a dry twig outside and cut into into the right lengths as those logs and use that instead?

I always use glue in my builds. It makes things so much easier and keeps the pieces together.

@Sasa if you have a hot glue gun that would work also for the logs?

Oh no, it really sounds like the build was fighting you today! I think you did the right thing by stopping instead of letting the frustration take over. The logs, wires, and plants sound like quite the combination, but hopefully tomorrow will be a much better building day. Sometimes walking away and coming back with fresh eyes makes all the difference!:heart:

Yeah, exactly—that’s why I was saying it would be great if all the kits included glue.

That’s actually a really good idea! But I’m so stubborn that I’m going to leave those ugly logs there, hahaha.

Thank you very much! I hope it proves useful.

That’s a great idea! I do have one, but it’s in one of the moving boxes!

Yeah, that’s why I mentioned that the soft glue—which is allowed through customs and included in all the kits—would be ideal. I haven’t done any building all week because of vertigo.

Yeah, those logs are a nightmare! Honestly, when you get that overwhelmed, it’s better to just stop.
