Cathy Weeks
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

Installing a mailslot on the door - which piece goes inside? by
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...

Loose electrical connection AFTER wallpaper is up by
Cathy Weeks
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...

Using brads in an MDF house - drilling VERY small pilot holes? by
Cathy Weeks
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...

Update - loose connection found and fixed, and question by
Cathy Weeks
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

Installing a Fireplace? by
Cathy Weeks
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...
