I decided that I didn't want to finish the porch with all it's many trims until I'm finished with the construction on the inside. I don't want to take the risk of breaking those delicate pieces. Plus I want to install the lights on either side of the doors while it's still easily accessible.
 And that brings us to electricity! I've never done a dollhouse before where the structure was all put together. It requires much thought as to where to put the electric wires. Fortunately, I was at Miniature Designs and I asked Ken how he does it. He recommended that I run the wires down a chase made behind all the fireplaces. Brilliant! I had planned on fireplaces on all levels on the same wall so that works for the four big rooms. The bay window rooms will all have hanging light fixtures so those wires will run into the corner and through a hole into the back room. There is a corner beside the opening that will be a perfect spot to run a chase down and can handle both rooms on each floor. All the ceilings will have an extra ceiling to hang the fixtures and hide the wiring. Any wiring from lamps from the floor above can also be hidden by the false ceiling. The wiring will run across the false ceiling and down the chase to the bottom of the dollhouse. All the electrical connections can be made there, out of sight.
 I'm starting at the top floor and working my way down to the first floor. Now that the electricity was figured out it is on to the fun stuff!
