justmesue Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Maybe I'm overtired, or going crazy, but I can't seem to figure out how the 2nd floor fireplace goes together in my Willow. I've got the shell built, the staiRs are o.k., but after 3 dry fits on that fireplace, and one messy (thought I had it glue attempt), it's just not working for me. It's almost like the parts are wrong. Does anyone have a pic of what it's supposed to look like? I'm almost ready to throw it out and glue a store bought in. I've done fireplaces before, and never had so much trouble! HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Never mind! I chucked the instructions, and put it together the way, I thought it should look. It turned out O.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 That's OK, Suzanne {{hugs}}, sometimes you just have to do it the house's way and devil take the instructions sheet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks for understanding Holly! I needed that hug, especially when no one responded. Got me thinking I was just being silly, and having builder's block, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Sometimes with builders' block it's because you & the house can't reach agreement (because what you & it want are so dramatically different), but occasionally it's a RL issue and then it's best to leave the kit and deal with it, or the kit will suffer & it's time to do a small project until you can figure out which it is.

justmesue Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 I totally agree! The Willow is on the back burner, being punished, I guess. It's all assembled but only the 2 chimneys are painted. Last Saturday Wendy showed me how to tapewire, so I'm doing electrical on the "Mystery Tabbie", and redecorating it one room at a time. When the Willow starts whinning, I'll give her another go. You could say we aren't talking at the moment, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenty Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 This is how my second floor fireplace looks. I'm not sure if it's built exactly the way the instructions describe. I've painted the inside black since I took this picture. Good luck! Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Linda it is looking great, looking forward to more pics as well Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Wow! It's beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Thanks for the pic! Mine will be O.k. after all. The Willow and I are finally talking again. I guess she got jealous of the other houses getting attention. So, I've started to put her sidding on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
