First rule of themb is that every bulb WILL burn out. For most of my lighted buildings I use a "sticky" glue that is not permanent for attaching them to foundation or layout "ground", thus I can pull them off to replace bulbs but they stay nicely inplace otherwise. However, another option, and one that I have also used successfully, is to stick a piece of brass tubing up through your foam and stick the bulb up through that. <br /> <br />Also, be sure that you have black cardboard or black paint on the inside so the whole building doesn't glow.
