Inspired by malamute  , I enjoyed realizing this modest Mexican house yesterday

Absolutely fantastic, as usual. This is getting ridiculous though, you're showing the rest of us up

I always have so much evil with English, and I do not manage to seize the sense(direction) of your sentence. Can you me her(it) repeat please? Thank you

[myincubliss]

My apologies - I was jokingly telling you off for making the rest of us look bad with your fantastic work

[duhamel]

ah ok thank you

Very cool!

The roof is made from one of those soft mats you put in the bathroom, right?
Le toit est fait avec un de ces tapis doux qu'on met dans la salle de bain, n'est-ce pas?

And you painted it first with white glue to have the hairs go in the desired direction?
Et tu l'as d'abord paint avec de la colle blanche pour que les poils aillent dans la direction désirée?

non c'est de la fourrure synthètique. je prends bien garde à la mettre dans le bon sens, puis je l'enduis de colle blanche diluée avec un peu d'eau et je la mets en forme avec un pinceau plat


No it is of the fur synthètique. I am well careful to put her(it) in the good direction, then I coat him(her,it) with white glue diluted with a little water and I shape her(it) with a flat brush

Très bon travail vous allez finir par avoir un village Mexicain tout entier! 

Very good work! You’ll end up having a complete Mexican village soon.

Also referred to as 'teddy bear fur' in other threads. I think I've seen it used for grass, too. Nice, but somewhat expensive, material (about £ 35 per meter here in DK).

EDIT:

But it actually looks better than thatch created with old towels the same way!!
