Luanne Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I am all over the places today with my topics... 1. If I plan to set two houses next to each other, is there a way to share just one transformer/one juction splice? How do people wire for a row of houses? For small houses like the Primose, do you also use one transfomer for it? I will count the total number of bulbs to comply with the transformer's limit of course. 2. Also, has anyone been successful wiring a sunroom? are there some pictures in here? 3. I am having trouble locating the link for the parquet tutorial. It's not under " tutorials" . Is it safe to use woodglue for the greenleaf floor tiles? if the border is made of leftover siding materials, would I be better off using Quick grab glue? thank you all in advance.

judithfa Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 electricity-- You can bridge electricity from one house to another or two or more roomboxes. The Cir-kit people sell "bridging wire" and the appropriate connectors. In effect, one house gets the junction slice and the trasformer, and "connector splices" are hammered into the tape wire of both houses and a "connector wire" connects them. I don't know if I am using the correct terminology. I would suggest calling the Cir-Kit people (toll-free number on their website). They answer the phone personally and are very nice and very helpful people. They can tell you what to buy and how to do it. I have called them a number of times with electricial problems/questions, and they always had the answer! (And they never made me feel dumb!) Greenleaf floor tiles-- I thought the tiles were self-adhesive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luanne Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thank you Pam and Judith- I will definitely inquire about the bridge for the houses. I have saved the floor link this time. About the tiles, I haven't bought the tiles yet - thought I'd do some homework first. Thanks gain for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luanne Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Corwin - is clear drawer liner similar to transparent book report cover? And also is Buddy an Australian Shepperd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithfa Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The only clear drawer liner that I know is adhesive on one side and sold in the section with vinyl shelf liners . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Corwin - is clear drawer liner similar to transparent book report cover? And also is Buddy an Australian Shepperd? Yes i do believe so. The drawer liner is adhesive on onside, it helps hold things together and has a nice glossy finish. I used it in my library and dining/living room. Buddy is a borzoi cross, Since he is white and black. He won't turn grey as he gets older, he turns brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Greenleaf floor tiles-- I thought the tiles were self-adhesive They are, and the directions with them recomend using glue, as well. I used wood glue with them as well as all-purpose white glue. I also use wallpaper paste when using "prepasted" wallpaper, it just seems to work better. I liked playing with the floor tiles, you can make some lovely patterns simply: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I use roundwire and I will use one transformer for more than one house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithfa Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I also use wallpaper paste when using "prepasted" wallpaper, it just seems to work better. I agree with Holly, and it works better on real house wallpaper for the real house. also. The saleslady at Home Depot said to not trust "prepasted" and I expanded that to not trusting the paste on anything called "prepasted". :idiot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
