Help! "Plug" shows in stairwell by
Cathy Weeks
Well, I got the plug for the stairwell cut down to size, and glued it
place. It was nearly flush with the bottom of the hole so I thought it
was good enough, but when I put the white paper up on the ceiling to
disguise it, it shows. Now what? How do I get it down without
ruining the wallpaper on...

What glue to stick a floor down? by
Cathy Weeks
In the dollhouse, I plan to glue the floors down that have no
electrical under them, and use something like double-stick tape under
the ones that do have electrical.
What glue would I use for this? The flooring is a polyurethaned

Best way to fill in a stairwell? by
Cathy Weeks
I officially decided to leave out the stairs in the cottage.
I bought newell posts, stair rail, and spindles to put a railing
around 3 sides of the stairwell opening, only to discover that because
of the slanted roof, the newell posts are too tall! The top of one of
the newell post rests against...

Wallpaper questions - which order for the walls? by
Cathy Weeks
I hung wallpaper in one of the rooms... looks great. I ended up
wallpapering to acid-free cardstock first, but a relatively thin
cardstock. I let it dry overnight, then wallpapered that to the walls.
The cardstock disguised my wiring sins beautifully, and added a bit
of stiffness to the paper so...

Photos of the mosaic tile floor, plus a write-up. by
Cathy Weeks
http://www.weeksfamily.net/dollhouse/mosaic.html
So...do you think I should grout the floor or leave it alone? I think
it's pretty as it is, but grouting would be more realistic, and would
give it a more finished look. I can't decide.

RGT vs. GEL vs. Walmer vs HJB vs Celerity by
Cathy Weeks
Hi all,
After the dollhouse that I built while in college was destroyed in a
fire, insurance is going to replace it. After reading messages here
for a few days, I decided to go with a house that has 3/8" wood.
There are models that I like in all of these lines: RGT, GEL, Walmer,
Celerity. I also...

Mini Cole Jaws by
Chuck
I just bought a set of mini cole jaws for my SuperNova, and it came
with a set of screws for mounting on the jaw slides that are twice as
long as are needed. Anyone know what they are for? They're listed in
the manual but I can't see any use for them.
TIA
