swishworm Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 :lol: Howdy to all...I can't believe I finally found a site that deals with Beacon Hill Houses!! I am now the PROUD owner of a DollHouse!!!! This is my first "real" Doll House...I remember having a Metal type 2 storey house when I was younger, but nothing like this. I am so excited and overwhelmed by it all, I don't know quite where to start...I was given the Beacon Hill House along with half a dozen boxes of assorted furniture, parts & pieces, ect. This wonderful "gift" came from my neighbour/landlord...she told me that she just doesn't have the time nor space to continue on and would I like to have it...WELL...You can guess my answer!! I was just in awe...So there I waited for my delivery (by wheelbarrow) of my new house. The house was built by an older gentleman, who had a bit of time on his hands, and let's say...had his room and board looked after, too! There seems to be a few pieces missing...Not quite sure exactly what, as I don't have any house plans or instruction sheets...Here's where I need your help...Where on earth do I get a set of instructions?? Okay, I think that's pretty good for a start...I have taken quite a few pictures of the house, but not quite sure on how to get them on here, so that you all can see them. I was very encouraged by looking at the "Curbside Find, Beacon Hill" info. ( Please forgive me for not remembering your name...) I checked out your site, and found it most helpfull. Take care all, and have a great day!! April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Welcome, April :lol: . A lot of members here have built or are building the Beacon Hill. You can go to the Greenleaf homepage for contact info to order the instructions & probably the schematics sheet as well, to show you if any pieces might be missing. I'm looking forward to seeing your "before" & "after" pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swishworm Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 Whew...my little guy is off to napland...so now it's Momma time!! Thanks Peggi...I am over the moon!! I haven't really thought about colors yet, Nutti...The house is a robin's egg blue, with white trim and painted brown shingles. The inside is well...really in need of some attention! Right now I am in the process of finding a good solid base (with turntable). I've been told that 'before you build anything you need a good foundation!' Found a turntable from a display rack, and just found a table top that is not in use...oh boy!! Thanks for the info, havanaholly...I do appreciate it... Take care...

Intrinsicat Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 If you haven't found or ordered the schematics or directions, let me know - I just got the house on eBay and it came with all that and I don't mind running you a copy and mailing it out. I got a great deal on it, but it's missing a major peice... I hope I can order it - I don't really want to mess with trying to cut this peice out from scratch. Everything else is PERFECT - I was sure it was all going to be warped and old from being someone's abandoned project - but aside from one key peice I'm pretty happy about it.
