Miniature Ivy? by Cathy Weeks
Has anyone ever put a bunch of ivy on the outside of a house? My searches of most sites turned up wallpaper with ivy patterns or potted plants, not long vines. I thought about using dark green wire, but getting tiny leaves to stick to it seemed like a pain. Cathy Weeks

Shingles at junction of gable and roof by Cathy Weeks
Shingling is going well. I was worried that I'd find it tedious (especially after the experience of staining them), but it's rather zen-like, and I enjoy it, and seeing the progress. Shingles in the junction of gable and roof are also going fine... My question is more hypothetical...what's to keep...

ModelExpo apologies (wasPossible supply source) by Retiredff
Sorry about the goof for the address. You can get there by either one of these: http://www.modelexpoinc.com/ http://www.modelexpo-online.com The worst part about it was I had a catalog sitting in front of me, and still got it wrong:) Larry

There has got to be an easier way to do shingles by Cathy Weeks
I dyed the shingles for the cottage today. The good news is that they are turning out to be a lovely shade of reddish brown, reminicent of cedar. However, it was a horrible job! They only soaked in the dye for a minute or so, but they stuck together, and I didn't think they'd turn out well if...

Surplus Coffee Stirrers available at cost by Cathy Weeks
Hi, I couldn't find coffee stirrers locally, so I bought them online. The only drawback is that I had to buy an entire case. Here's where I bought them: http://www.instawares.com/Stirrer-Coffee-Wooden.COFFEE.0.7.htm My total cost was $10.04 plus $7.60 in shipping for a total of $17.64. That...

Wow...it worked! (Electrical) by Cathy Weeks
I've been putting in the tape wire, and installing the eyelets. I installed the junction splice on the underside of the house (in space created by the "foundations") I'll route out a "mouse hole" for the cord to escape. But I got out the tester, and ALL splices worked. I guess I expected it to...

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 -- Chuck *#:^)

What tools to use when drilling pilot holes for eyelets? by Cathy Weeks
I bought Cir-Kit's mini drill ($6) and am really glad I did. With an MDF house, trying to use the pilot hole punch that came with the wiring kit would be impossible, and even putting the drill bit in the punch didn't work - I couldn't get the chuck tightened enough, even with pliers, and trying to...

1/8 inch brads with 1/8 inch plywood? by Cathy Weeks
My current project has 3/8" MDF walls, and I got to thinking about my next project. I'm thinking about a Greenleaf cottage next, and wouldn't wiring prove a problem? If you use the brads (or the eyelets) - which are 1/8" long, that's the same as the thickness of the walls. What's to prevent the...

Hiding the junction splice? by Cathy Weeks
Ok, I had an idea that I'd like to bounce off you more experienced people... The cir-kit instruction booklet has people put the junction splice on the side of the house on the siding, and I find that to be unattractive. I want to hide the junction splice under the house instead: On the ground...

sconces and coach lamps by Cathy Weeks
Ok... I need to run the wiring tape, and I have no fixtures to test with. I'll get the fixtures in April. Now, here are my problems: 1. How do I attach exterior coach lamps? I know that I'll run the tape around the top of the front door, on the inside. I also know that I'll have to drill...

Mistakes already! How to fix? by Cathy Weeks
Sigh... the fact that I've already built on dollhouse doesn't count for much it seems, especially when I built it 12 years ago because this very simple RGT Victorian Jr already has mistakes. I primed the housebody and painted the exterior, but didn't pay enough attention to the instructions where...
