the Ceiling Loop
The Main Loop
At least 1” overlap
copper-over-copper
blue-over-blue
Lay the Base Run
in a single piece with no cuts or interrup-
tions just above the Baserun line all the way around the doll
-
house. Go thru the dividers’ doors to get to the next rooms.
Get around the Front Door
with folded corners to avoid
extra connections in the tapewire.
Lay the Main Loop
using the e-slots or stair cutouts to get
from floor-to-floor. If you have an e-slot in the Base Floor,
run the Main Loop all the way into the cellar.
Lay the Sconce Runs
just above the 5

Lay the Ceiling Loop
following the Marks. The Ceiling
Loop will connect to the Main Loop or to the Baserun, up the
wall, across the ceiling, and back down the wall to the Base-
run again. The Ceiling Loop will connect the Sconce Runs
to the rest of the dollhouse wiring. Connect the Ceiling Loop
on both ends to make the dollhouse wiring connections more
trouble-free.
