Thanks for the prompt reply.

I've done that and still nothing. The selected villager checks things out for a moment then, "nothing" and they go back to whatever they were doing. I've tried this several times.

Now, on the off chance that something did happen and I missed it, how would I know? Doesn't the gong ring when things are done correctly? If so, then I've not heard any gong noises so I would assume by that that I've not inadvertantly missed anything.
