Where to start?

[Phiadopalopadus]

I have just put together my first house and I have a few ideas but I do not know where to start exactly?
and I'm not sure what house I have?
I am trying to upload pictures but it keeps saying connection lost or something?
But as soon as I can I will!

Shall I get my light now if I know what I want and if so how do i put them in shall I drill a little whole in the floor above and have the wire under the floor above or have the wire trailing on the ceiling?

I have already go some floor boards on the way and as soon as I get paid I'm getting skirting board (Just getting bits together).

cheers

Hi Phiadopalopadus (great name!)

Hmm, that's not easy when we don't know what type of house you have?

Does it only open in the front?

Anyway, it's very common to drill a hole in the ceiling/floor of the upstairs and also cut a line in the floor to the wire and then add it to the electricity system at the back og the house.

In my blog you can see how I wired my dolls house (though not how the wires runs through the house). - And I know a lot of others use a plug system instead of the soldering type I use. - That's up to you!

I hope some one can give you a better advice than me, so you can begin.

- By the way, it's best to plan your lighting of a dolls house before assembling the house!

Hi Phia

Alright I just checked out your dolls house on FB and I think you can "easily" add lamps to it. Drill little holes in the middle of the rooms and some how, cut a straight line deep enough to held a wire for the lamp, towards the back of the house.



What tools you must use, I can't tell you, since the house is already assembled, but they of course needs to be small... Perhaps someone in here can recommend something for you?

And I also think you can go ahead and buy the lamps you wish - and not just ceiling lamps

- vicky.

OK

so I can ue any lamp and lights? Thats good

my partner he can help with tools and what to use (I hope) he was an engineer and knows alot about wood, metal, and electrics.

Thank you

I just clicked your link and found I can see your pics without joining facebook

If you used wall lights on the back walls, lighting would be really easy and would look lovely as well. I am currently working out lighting and you need to have an idea of where you want your furnishings, so that is something to think about as well

Welcome to the forums Phiadopalopadus, that's an interesting property you have there!

Kayjay - Thank you I can not wait to start and buy the furniture I have chosen I've started to get the walls and floors prepared

Bluebird - That's good that you could see without needing a FB my partner did tell me what tool to use for the lights in the ceiling, but already I have forgotten LOL. I will definitely have wall lights too

St.Vale - Yes it is different, and I absolutely love it
