Unfortunately, with all the small pieces, a dry-run will be difficult and a re-do, with glue, could get quite messy!<br /> <br /> It would've been nice, also, if the instruction numbers had a sequential list that pointed to the numbers in the drawing. For example, a vertical column of the sequence of numbers with a double (or more) set of lines pointing to each piece. That would make assembly a whole lot easier to follow, in my opinion. And it would've pointed out the missing 17.<br /> <br /> Not that I'm complaining. Free is free. I just wanted to know what I was getting into before I got started.<br /> <br /> - Carl<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 14 May 2006 by CSEWELL</p> <hr /><a name="a3802_14"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.14">#14</a>]<br /> 14 May 2006<br /><b>To: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.13">#13</a>] 14 May 2006</p> Buzz forgot to tell you this was a puzzle. <span class="e_shock" title=":O"><span class="e__">:O</span> </span> Now figure it out and tell the rest of us how you did it. <hr /><a name="a3802_15"></a><p><b>From: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.15">#15</a>]<br /> 14 May 2006<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.14">#14</a>] 14 May 2006</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">Now figure it out and tell the rest of us how you did it.</div><br /> <br /> Done!

Our business has been to create High-Profit product designs and the Doll House, I fear, will confuse people on what we offer.</p> <p> My thinking is, (hopefully you can follow my untrained thought), when you first get a cell phone the company will give you all kinds of freebies to sign a contract. When you open a large Bank account you get to pick from a toaster or such. The customer who is still your customer gets nothing, actually in the cell phone case sometimes their stuck with higher monthly fees. I was thinking why not award your current customers with a monthly fun project. This is what I'm leaning to if I can create understandable instructions <span class="e_confused" title=":S"><span class="e__">:S</span> </span></p> <p> I had someone in the shop suggest I use the plans to give away at the trade shows in exchange for business cards and e-mail addresses for future contacts, but I'm leaning more to my original idea.</p> <p> I am working on another house plan that was supposed to be simpler, less wood, easier to assemble. I failed, it is now over 300 pieces, three stories with stairs again, and even a second floor wrap around porch, I just can't control myself. When I get it finished I'll post a picture. </p> <p> I don't like to see a child disappointed (in this case your wife) If you go to our website and e-mail me I'll send you my first house I built, (I made plans for this one, it was made for an architect) with little effort I believe you can redesign it into a Doll House.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 16 May 2006 by BUZZ</p> <hr /><a name="a3802_30"></a><p><b>From: ABH (BACHI)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.30">#30</a>]<br /> 16 May 2006<br /><b>To: Buzz</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.16">#16</a>] 16 May 2006</p> <p>Buzz<br /> Nice doll house.
