    What is " Net " Wiring?     
    
    Install tapewire 
      Make the tapewire 
  connections with  
  small hollow eyelets 
      Test, test, etc 
      Coach Light 
      Liner Paper 
      Paint 
      Wallpaper 
      Moldings 
      Fixtures & outlets 
    
    LEDs   | 
        
        
    
     Wiring Order: J535, J540, J545 
    Order of assembly and wiring steps (this is how I do it) 
    Paint everything one coat - Faux-Wood finish on the floors if chosen 
      Sand until the paint is thin and transparent and lots of wood is showing thru 
    Build the housebody up to the roof    (No Dividers) 
    (J545 only) Paint the Housebody - 2nd coat  
    Attach the Front Roof - not the Rear Roof or Attic Partition
     
    Lay the Main Loop of  tapewire and leave 2" or so taped to the bottom of the base floor on both ends 
    Ceiling Loop in the first floor ceiling 
    Install the Divider and Attic Partition 
      Finish wiring the inside, testing between each step. I do a Sconce Loop in all rooms, connecting them on both ends ("Net" style) 
      Coach Lamp(s) 
      Attach the Foundation and Porch but not the Porch Roof  
      Ceiling lights in the Porch and  outlets for seasonal decorations are most easily accommodated  
         with  outlets wired through the upper wall to the Base Loop in the Attic 
      Attach the Porch Roof 
      Finish the inside (wallpaper or wall liner paper and paint) 
      Attach the Rear Roof 
      Shingle 
      Touch-up the painting
       
       
      If you've come here after some of the above steps have been bypassed, don't worry - among the resources on the wiring page are ways to proceed working around most anything (except too much interior finishing... Stairs, Baseboard and Crown molding, Doors and Windows, those things I take out if I am going to use tapewire)
