Mary11 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 This is going to be a total redo. Any suggestions? It looks like it's been put together with hot glue, any tips on how to get her apart easily? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 A blow dryer and putty knife should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I used a heat gun with the metal putty knife, but the doors and windows were toast anyway, and I was going to make new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary11 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Everything is in good shape, but they put all the woodwork on so everything has to come off to paint and paper. Then there are spots it's got to be taken apart to get at. But I'll try to salvage what I can, I really love this house!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I love to rehab hot glue-built houses because then I can bash them to their hearts' contents. In addition to all new windows and doors the Pierce I had wanted a conservatory downstairs and a roof garden off of the master bedroom upstairs, which involved cutting doorways similar to that in the dining room on that blank wall, which my Dremel Trio was perfect for! My heart really broke when I saw how badly destroyed it was during our move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary11 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Awww, I can just imagine how terrible it must have been to lose her. I lost my Garfield in my move last year, I was heart broken! On another note I can't wait to get started on her. She's already expressed an interest in an art studio/craft room in her attic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Depending on how hot it is where you live, sometimes just setting the house in the direct sun for a few hours will loosen hot glue. Worked for me on a redo project. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary11 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Oh it's been hot here, I'll try that. Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
