Mark the Ceiling Loops using the 5

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.
The Ceiling Loop is side-to-side, the Ceiling Run is front-to-back.
Lay a Ceiling Run front-to-back in the center of each room
or wherever your plan needs power for ceiling lights.

your foundation is thicker, create a pocket for the jack by
carving or drilling so that it can mount
outside surface). The Jack must be close enough to the main
loop so the connection wire on the Jack can easily reach.
Remove the nut and glue the Jack into the hole. Let the glue dry.
