I read on the outside of the box that Menard's power supply is required. However on the bottom of the building is a battery holder for three AA batteries. I inserted batteries in the holder but the lights did not light when I pushed the on/off button. Has anyone that removed the base found the holder not hooked up to the lights, only the receptacle for Menard's power supply?
EDIT: After reading the other thread started by Lee, It appears I got a building where the lights do not work with battery power. Should I try to take the base off as explained in the other thread or contact Menard's? It seems the hardest part is dislodging the exterior wall from the base.
