shershe

Thanks for all the recent comments! fov ~ As far as how many hours it took me to complete, I have no idea. I didn't keep track, but wish I would have. That would have been good to know. I actually still have odds and ends to complete, such as door knobs, some work on the porch and other exterior things, like flower boxes. It is really heavy and takes up a lot of room, but I love it. I did use a Houseworks door in the kitchen / entry and I had to cut the extra trim to fit and use some shims, but then again I had to do that for the RGT exterior door that came with the kit.

If you're crazy, then so am I and it's all good. I bought and built my dollhouse FOR my dolls. They all have personalities and names.

I just put on my first row of shingles using the Aleene's Fast Grab and by the time I had six on, the first three were curling really bad. I guess I'm going to have to go back to using the E6000 or wait until I can get a hot glue gun. I put some heavy books on this first row. I think they will dry flat and be fine, but I don't want to have to do that row by row.

I just applied my first shingles last night. I did the small porch roof first, and it was still quite a job. I used E6000 glue because it was the only non water based glue I had. Although it worked, I'm going to use quick grab glue for the other roof pieces. The E6000 takes awhile to dry and I didn't like trying to put the next row of shingles on when the first row was still so easy to move out of place. Also, I stained the shingles after I glued them on and some did start warping. I just put heavy books on them overnight and by morning they were all nice and flat. I have photos in my gallery.

I have some Elmer's Tack Tabs and Scotch Adhesive Putty that I will try for the cabinets. I think those are similar to the Blu-Tak.

Yes, that's the one I've seen...in a red container. I'm getting some.

Thanks for the speedy replies! I'm so anxious to get things done...eee! haha

My first dollhouse is coming along. If you want to see photos, you can check my gallery. I am only wallpapering one room, the kitchen. I want to get it done before I attach the roof. But, I need some help. I'm using scrapbook paper as wallpaper. It is cardstock thickness. I have 2 upper kitchen cabinets and a stove vent that I need to attach to the wall, which means attaching it to the scrapbook paper/wallpaper. What should I use to accomplish this? I have seen a product sold called dollhouse wax. Would that be what I would need? Thanks for your help!
