Next stop - Montreal

I enjoy filling custom orders for a birdhouse. I'm usually told who it is for and where it will be used, and I'm reminded I should hang a map of the world in my workshop, because many orders go far afield.

["Doesn't look like much yet, I know"]

["Birdhouse order: Like a semi-detached from Montreal"]

["Distinctive front looks AOK during assembly time"]

["A door and brass hinges are around here, somewhere..."]

Today I construct the side porch, add primer and look for a box suitable for shipping. Then comes the hard part. Mixing paint to look like the house in the photo.

Rug brick? Comes in a can? Any ideas?
