OK I officially give up.

It seems as though we are probably not on at the same time, as every time I check, your gates aren't showing as open when I am able to be on playing, which admittedly is usually just once a day, sometimes 2 times but for less than an hour each time. I know I added you correctly, because your name is showing up with the heart, etc.
I was able to snag an Eiffel Tower from someone else in the meantime, but I still wanted to honor my request to get the one from you, since you went to the trouble of ordering it and paying the bells.
We can still try to hook up for me to buy it and and I can stick it in my other characters house, or if you would rather, you can pass it on to the poster above who would like one now. Either way is fine with me. I keep my bag of bells ready outside my gate each time I check to see if your gate is open. These days I have more bells than I know what to do with, even my townies keep telling me that LOL
Let me know either way and thanks again for the trouble.
