hank Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Good afternoon, my name is Hank. I purchased a dollhouse kit for my neice when she was born. I thought that I would build the doll house in the last 6 years . It is incomplete as of this date. I am looking for some help to complete the project before my neice goes off to college!! if there is anyone out there who can assist me with info on a patient talented doll hose builder, in Massachusetts or Connecticut, I would be forever grateful. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenlaine Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi Hank, Welcome to the forum. I'm curious as to why you just don't open that box and read over the instructions and before you know it, you'll be looking to build another one. In any case, I'm sure there must be someone out there that would be able to help you. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaimieMarvon Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 What a sweet gift! You didn't mention what house it is. I live in NJ, about 20 minutes from NYC and we have a wonderful shop here who can help you finish the build, but it would be very costly.

Anna Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hello and welcome to the forum Hank! Now you said you had a house kit in a box???

Missymew Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi Hank - Dying to know which house you've had sitting in a box. Ray and I just finished building our first dollhouse from kit. We wired for elecricity and landscaped the house and it only took 13 days. Perhaps you'd just like some support from all of us on this forum to build it yourself. They really are fun. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi Hank, Why don't you post and let us know what house you're building and where you're having problems. There's a ton of experience on this forum and before you know it I bet the "think tank" (as I like to call em) will have you up and running with this house! When ever I get stuck they always get me going again Dollhouse building is a lot of fun and remember there's just about no mistake that can't be fixed :lol: Welcome to the neighborhood -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 :welcome: Hank anyone out there who can assist me with info on a patient talented doll house builder, in Massachusetts or Connecticut Probably any forum member from that area. Why not you? As you read the posts on getting started, and the blogs, you'll see it's not at all difficult. Which kit do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi Hank and welcome to the forum...I agree with everyone else in this forum...Go for it...The hardest part is getting started...don't feel intimidated, because building a dollhouse is easier than you may think! And don't forget to post pictures...we all love eye candy here!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prariegurl Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hank, I agree with the rest. I have built houses for all of my three nieces, and am building a firehouse for one nephew. The nephew wanted the firehouse because I had made stuff for the girls, but had never made him anything. It's not just the houses they all love, but the fact that I made the houses for them. The helpful, experienced folks on the message board can guide you through it if lack of experience is all that is holding you back. There are dollhouse builders. Gary at www.minis4u.com will build your house, but it will cost a lot, and you would have to get the house to him herre in Virginia. I am sure there are builders closer, and your local dollhouse shop can put you in touch with one. But if you can possibly manage the time, build it for her. I promise you that she will love it even more if you are the buuilder. Jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missymew Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hank - I just checked into this thread again today because I wanted to see if you'd posted which house kit you've got. A year ago when I first started posting in this forum, I'd never thought that I'd be able to actually build a dollhouse. It really is much easier than I ever thought. You need so very few tools to do a basic build. A bottle of wood glue, some polyfill (spackle), masking tape, exacto knife, and paint will pretty well do it. If I can do it ... pretty well any one can. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
