YeahImaDad Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Found this site by accident( on purpose?) and HAD to join in. I have built 3 kits in the past, although that was a "few" years ago. My wife and I are adopting and I will be building a dollhouse for our daughter not from a kit. I used a "the houseworks:build 3 complete house styles" book and redesigned a 2 bedroom1 bath house into a L shaped 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house complete with deck/patio and jacuzzi room. yes, I plan to post pics as I go.It was nice buiilding the others as gifts but to build one from "scratch" for my daughter, this will be nice! Oh i was babbling.. Hello to one and all ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uppitycats Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 What a sweet treat for your new addition! I just hope you don't build it SO well (and expensively) that you'll do like my dad did with a train set -- built the train set "for his son", and then wouldn't let him PLAY with it til he was a teenager!! We'll look forward to the pictures...of the dollhouse and your daughter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 , Geoff (my youngest's middle name), we are so very glad to you to the forum. Our eldest DS is adopted and my hat's off to you & your DW for being willing to jump through the hoops. DH & I "scratch-built" our first DGD's first dh using Tangerman''s book and it was a real learning experience when we discovered the cutting plan for the second floor had been reversed! My repertoire of *magic* building words expanded exponentially. We are expecting our second DGD VERY SOON and I already have one ready to give her!

nuttiwebgal Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 one of your post can be to tell us about your color ideas..... paper or paint? and thing special on the outside...siding? stucco? timber? you should take a gander at Glen's Baby's house! wonderful inspiration to be found there with the build and the electrics. Baby can turn the lights on and off in each room and all the switches are neatly tucked away. the wonders of scratch builds and customizations! Happy Building nutti :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahImaDad Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) :whistle: , ...DH & I "scratch-built" our first DGD's first dh using Tangerman''s book and it was a real learning experience when we discovered the cutting plan for the second floor had been reversed! ..." I found out using the book I have for reference has quite a few key measurements left out ,some of the instructions are confusing even after reading numerous times over and over.. kind of like : step 1. throw the grenade. step 2 pull the pin. but it is looking good .I posted pics in the gallery and I will have more soon.
