Why do these people want to sell JOHNNY'S house! they are crazy! I want to buy it, I wish I was rich I'm sure the dollhouse going to turn out nice, can't wait to see it when its finished! btw, I got that Sid doll too! I wish I had John, I'll buy him when I find him. Why isn't it any dolls of Steve and Paul? I know - how can you have the whole band without Steve & Paul?? They must need better agents. And, when I first realized the house was for sale, I wished I had more money. I haven't even visited England for the past 18 years, but a part of me wanted the place. I'd at least like to walk through it with the real estate agent. Doesn't really look like much of John's influence has been left behind, though. Joan

Joan ' Joan - what a great idea, re: walking through with the real estate agent. I would absolutely love to do that... Even though John' s influence might not be there, could you imagine walking the rooms that he did so many years ago, not to mention Sid, Nancy, and so many others!

My sister & I have started working on the dollhouse. Progress is rather slow. For starters we needed to design & build the basement level since the dollhouse "kit" had the front door at street level whereas the real house has stairs up from the street. Anyway we have the basement framing done: Next we will put up the front wall sides (front wall already has the cutouts for the doors & windows) Lots of pieces of wood still to be assembled before we can start adding the exterior brickwork, stairs, etc. Going to take a while, but so far it has been fun! And, today, while scanning the web to see if I could find any more pictures of the house, I found that apparently, the house is for sale. So if you have an extra million pounds or so lying around, you could buy it for yourself (see the following website): www.foxtons.co.uk/property-for-sale-in-chelsea/chpk0294252From the couple photos below, there have been some changes made since John owned it: Now (Reception Room): Then (Johnny's Living Room): Now (Rooftop Terrace): Then (Just a Roof): Joan OMG, Joan! What attention to detail...a real work of art, there! I, too, eagerly await the finished project!

There is progress on the dollhouse. Mostly we have been working on the outside, which is pretty far along as shown in the photo below: Still need to work on the roof & the outside signs, etc that Shonie gave me good pictures of, plus the doors & windows. We usually only work on it one night a week, but it is coming along & starting to take on the look of the "original": I'll post more as the inside starts to develop. [If anyone finds any "new" interior photos from John's time in the house, they would be greatly appreciated. ] Thanks, Joan

Speaking of Rambo - I've never seen a picture of him at Gunter Grove. Think he shied away from photos, or was he just not a frequent visitor? Did he not like the other "friends" who tended to hang out there? Just wondering. Joan
