Lindsey Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi, I am retired and new to building dollhouses. I want to start giving back for all the wonderful things that I have experienced in my life and hope to donate most of my houses to children undergoing chemotheraphy. I hope I won't ask too many stupid questions. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uppitycats Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Welcome! What houses are you planning to build? Some might be more child-friendly than others. You might want to ask that question and see what kinds of suggestions folks can offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitcher Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I am also retired and semi-new to dollhouses. I helped my husband some 30 years ago when he was building a dollhouse for our daughter. Now I want to try it on my own. I bought an Orchid kit and am a bit anxious about starting it. I will probably ask a lot of questions.

havanaholly Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Welcome, Janet & Barbara, there are NO stupid questions. When I build houses for children to play with (supervised until they learn the structural limits and appreciate the houses as playthings) I reinforce the insides of the corners with 1/4" square stock. No matter who they're for (incuding me) I use a heavy-duty stapler to reinforce the corners & roof attachment along glue lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggiemae Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Welcome and ask away. I have been doing this for a while and learn new things here all the time. Check the gallery to see many houses being worked on and what they look like completed. Mt building steps one to four are: opening the box, removing the instructions and reading them over a few times. Then decide how you want the house to look finished and start gathering up the things you will need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
