I started my Garfield about 2 weeks ago. I have the foundation done and about 80% done on the stair cases. I have never done a dollhouse before and could also use some good tips and advice. I have 40 years of Building models and model railroading, so that helps me. I am the type of builder that does more than required (a curse, lol). I am building this for my granddaughter and I want it as perfect as possible. So far so good. I really enjoy this new found hobby.
