Nonnie Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Hello, I'm new to the forum and need help with my first (and probably last) front-opening dollhouse. I'm building the front-opening Montpelier and would appreciate some advise regarding the opening roof and the chimneys. I installed three dormers and the roof is pretty heavy. As I see it, the two chimneys won't support the roof when it's open and I'm afraid they'll just come off under the weight -- the chimneys touch the back roof before the dormers . Does anyone know if the chimneys are supposed to support the roof when open? Any ideas (short of leaving them unglued and only putting them on when the roof is closed)? Thanks a bunch, Nonnie Nonnie's Dollhouses Edited September 21, 2010 by Nonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 If you are a facebook member, do a search for Really Good Toys Dollhouses there and post your question. Their resident expert is wonderful about answering questions and making suggestions about how to handle any problems. If they are made of the same material as the rest of the house, they should be fine, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonnie Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Thanks, Sherry. I asked and got a quick reply. The chimneys do indeed support the roof, and in my case, will need to be screwed in for added strength. Thanks again, Nonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
