The Building of... THE PRIORS ... a doll room

OK, so not completely finished but almost First up Cali's Cake and Coffee Shop   Just need to add the door Notice the toilets Next Phlox's Florist Again I need the door The school is on five floors. The ground floor is the Nursery (Kindergarten) I'll show you more on this later as I have changed out a few things and need to 'tidy up' So this first floor is for the pre-teen children  The walls are still a little bare as I need to and pictures and school work. I think it looks a little like the last day at school before the summer holidays. With the children all out of uniform I will go with this idea Now onto the young teens Moving onward and upwards third floor there are two rooms on this floor and at the moment they are without dolls The music room The  other room is an   Art Room On the top floor i...

I wanted to add lights to the school rooms and as I was dismantling the rooms to add extra strength to the floor/ceilings now would be a good time.  When looking through e.bay and Amazon I came across these lights no batteries it uses a USB. That sounded good a nice light weight neat looking light I could just un-clip and charge.  NOPE! You need to have the cable PLUGGED IN for it to work OK, so cable not to big or heavy I could cut a small slit in the ceiling and it would still work BUT I will some sort of USB plug for it to plug into.

(so ...

Now the temperature has dropped back to normal for summer (in it's 70's not the 100's) I've been able to get back into the doll room. Why is it so hard to do just the one room at a time? This first picture is from the school.    Here I'm reinforcing the ceiling/floors and 'tidying' things up!.... I need new lighting and so as it needs to be glued to the ceiling I've come to a stand still. There's a story to the lighting .....I found some slim lights charge with a USB, sounded like a good idea not having a battery box hanging around. So turns out they only work when PLUGGED IN!!!! So OK, I look for a USB charger. I find a small one. Turns out it needs SPECIAL BATTERIES!!!!! So I look for the batteries the have to be RECHARGEABLE batteries, so now I need to buy SPECIAL BATTERIES and A CHARGER!!!!! This is not going how I wanted AT ALL!      So I thought i would work on something else...maybe my cafe? Then I realise that I need to make th...
