http://weeksfamily.net/dollhouse/stairwell.html Here are pictures of the process of getting rid of a stairwell. It's not perfect, but it does look pretty good, and I'm not unhappy with the results. Cathy Weeks

Ok, I ordered this tiny mail slot for the front door, and it's got two parts - a "rim" designed to go around a hole/slot in the door, and a piece that shaped exactly the same, but solid (ie, it covers a slot in the door). It's obviously supposed to simulate a little door that covers a mail...

Ok, I got the wallpaper up yesterday morning (finishing the lower floor), and I discovered hours later that there's no power to the upper story. The coach lights still turn on just fine, so that means the loose connection is AFTER them. But there are two splices between the coach lights and where...

Hi all, I've been using eyelets for my electrical since the wood is so hard, I've used a crappy mini hand-drill with a #55 bit to drill the pilot holes for the eyelets. Now, since then, my husband gave me a dremel for my birthday, and it's like a miracle, it works so well for so many things. I...

Hi all, In talking through the problem of the two possible problem splices I figured out how to isolate which splice was the problem. There was a bit of exposed tapwire between the splices where the tape went through a doorway. The tester didn't light up in that spot so that meant the first...

I ended up ordering some building supplies, but had to buy large quantities. Would it be a breach of ettiquette to offer them for sale here AT COST plus real shipping (no handling)? Cathy Weeks

I paint miniature paintings and plant pots (dollhouse sized) and am looking for suggestions as to how I might go about selling them.

Hello everyone, Any sugestions on how I could make clear glass looking bowls or somewhere in Australia where I can get some. Thank you. Regards Jodie. Rivercraft Dollhouse Miniatures http://www.geocities.com/jo200au/RivercraftMiniatures.htm

Ok, the fireplace is nearly done. It just needs a coat or two of polyurathane. But how do I install it? When I set it in the dollhouse against the appropriate wall, it leans outward slightly, and doesn't sit tightly against the wall. I can with my hand pull it against the wall, but then there's a...

We're cleaning out an old assortment that was collected by us over many years. Some of the items are still in the original boxes, and we don't want to simply throw things out. We have a flowered porcelain bathroom set, "House of Miniatures" tall case clock kit (unassembled), a Chippendale Chest on...

Ok, I installed the mini plug on the lamp as per instructions - I cut off the big plug, stripped the wires, inserted them in the sides, slid the pins and and used pliers to get them all the way in. Then I plugged it into an outlet (uninstalled) and touched the outlet pins to two live eyelets on an...

Ok, I got the light fixture working, the mini plug is successfully installed, and then I install the outlet into the tape run. I drilled very shallow pilot holes with a #70 bit. The bit was slightly smaller than the pins in the outlet. I pushed the outlet in just far enough to hold in place, and...

I wanted to let everyone know that I've listed quite a few issues of The Scale Cabinetmaker on eBay. The Scale Cabinetmaker was a periodical publication that descibes the details of how to create fine minature furniture and other things miniature. The journal is no longer being produced, so the...

When looking at all the various flooring and clapboard, there are many choice to choose from. My question comes in at which size spacing is for what? I know that some are close to each other and would be a matter of choice for the builder. What is the cut-off from one size to the other in terms...
