(originally posted on my blog at the original groupee.com social networking site.)
this was quite the little adventure... quite simple, just tedious.
flat wire tape, engineered specifically for dollhouses, is run through the house, connected at joints by little brass nails, which conduct the electricity into the intersecting wire. pretty neat. the hardest part (aside from handling the teeeeeny tiny brads) was deciding where all my lighting would go and wiring accordingly. it all felt so permanent (even though it's not, really).
the photo shows the initial test of the first run of wire - just to make sure the junction splice is properly set. the real trick is in testing each additional run after you connect it, to make sure that you set the nails properly, and that electricity is still flowing. there was some serious cheering going on when i tested the final run in the attic with success!

(now i just have to buy and install lighting. eek.)
