Oh yes, lots of extra varnish on the Paper House walls. When the house was built, of course, the porch wasn't here. That was built sometime in the early '30s. So the porch roof really protects the bottom part of the Paper House walls. Roofing shingles, so there really isn't any paper exposed to the weather.
Rain blows in, sometimes snow, but it's held up pretty well con-sidering how old it is.
We really don't varnish the inside of the house because the more you put on, the darker it gets and we really just like to leave it so you can still read the papers. After the wall material was made, and he was living in it, he made the furniture. The furniture is made out of little paper logs. The little rolls of paper are maybe a half inch thick and they're all cut to different sizes-cut with a knife. Then they're glued together or nailed together.
