Secret passage

This is too cool!

I have not tried wiring, mostly because I have built a couple of small dollhouses and it appears that wiring kits are for 5 or more rooms. I see this is wired. How do you wire for a small build, Jo?

Thanks Chris. You don't need to buy a whole kit, just buy the lights you want, a plug in lighting strip and a transformer of the right size for the number of bulbs you plan to use - bulbs not light fittings. I have a section at the back of this build behind the stairs where I can fit a couple of lighting strips. Then its just a case of planning where you lights will go and hiding the wires. It the light is in a ceiling you can drill through to the floor above and then cut a groove in the floor to run you wires through.

Hope this helps Chris.

Wish I could type.

Wonderful!!!

Thanks Brae.

Love this! We have friend who have a beautiful beach home on Kiawah Island and they have a secret stairway up to their private quarters. When our children saw this at 4 and 6 they were astounded!

Very very cool what you have done here.

Thanks Cynthia.

Secret passageways are wonderful for kids, shame all houses don't come with them as standard but I suppose they wouldn't be secret then.

I thought the last pic was wonderful...this is just too awesome for words!

Thanks Sarah, I wanted to have some fun with this project and try out a few things I had ideas for but hadn't done before. The cellar walls are the first time I used egg carton bricks.

Oh, oh ,oh !!

Absolutely fantastic. It looks so real.

Secret passages are so fun. Wish I had one in RL.

Again, wonderful!

Thank you Selkie and Debora, me too. I'd love one in real life. I once went to see a house for sale that had one. We couldn't afford it by a long way but it was lovely to drool. There was a secret door hidden in a run of wardrobes in a kids room that led through to a playroom built under the eaves - no windows, a totally secret cave.

My jaw is on the FLOOR! Amazing work!!!

Thank you Pat, I'm really pleased you like it.

Can I get a "certificate of occupancy" . I want to move in. Can't wait to see more......

LOL Pat. There's a size restriction here, any bigger than 6 inches tall and you are too big for this ride.

Dr. Einstein: Alright, Mr. President, we go to Panama.

Teddy Brewster: Bully, bully! Follow me, General. It's down south, you know.

Dr. Einstein: [hat falling across his eyes] Well, Bon voyage!

I LOVE this movie/play/story...and especially your build!

Thanks Gonzo. Great story, it had such a good feeling despite the murders - lol

Jo this is fantastic... I now soooooo want one of these in one of my houses

Thanks Kelly, you go for it, there's nothing like a few secret passages to make a place magical.

Awesome! I love it!

Thanks Keli, it adds a bit of magic when the door swivels to reveal the secret passage.

I can't believe I haven't seen this before! It's amazing!

Thanks Jeremy, I'm glad you like it.
