Beacon Hill Dollhouse Construction: Lighting

[@GregoryFreeman-r3c]

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am new to this and find your videos very helpful.

[@annatengkvist68]

I'm really impressed of your work. This takes time and patience. I live in Sweden and yesterday I ordered this dollhouse from Greenleafdollhouse. Thanks for sharing your videos, I think I have to watch them over and over again during my construction.

I am trying to locate the strap clamp you show for use circumferential applications - is it a ratcheted packing strap? The ones I see have big hooks and I am not sure that is what you used. Where could I find one or two of these? Thanks.

[@BradVaughn]

This is a ratchet type strap. Lookup "strap clamps for woodworking" and you should be able to find these at home improvement stores and Amazon.

I have the same house but mine came "pre-loved" so it was constructed. Trying to figure how to wire it so I can then wallpaper over it.

[@BradVaughn]

Most people run the tape wire on the inside then cover the surface. You can run this along the floor then cover this with new flooring. Since I started from scratch, I decided to run the tape on the outside and cover with the siding. Good luck.

Such a pretty house. And thank you for making this series. Youve done a fantastic job.

It's a very pretty dollhouse thanks for sharing that with everyone because now it's a person's choice if they want to get battery operated lights or the ones you have to connect electricity I think the battery once would be easier

[@BradVaughn]

There are pro and cons. The battery option is much easier and provides flexible placement. The wired option provides a unified and integrated electric system.

I haven't seen anyone do the wiring on the outside if a house before, but I guess if it's under the wrong you could. Usually u see people run the tape inside, before wallpaper and floors

[@BradVaughn]

I have mostly seen others run the wiring on the inside as well, but I wanted to paint most of the interior walls and the wiring could easily be covered by the siding.

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@BradVaughn those others were mostly the types of houses with pre milled siding already part of the walls.

What color did you paint your ceilings?

[@BradVaughn]

I used some leftover paint as the primer for all the surfaces. This was a yellow tone. If I did this again, I would have primed everything with white and ended up with white ceilings.
