18. Lay out the Front Roof and Porch Roof up-side-down.
Tape them together with the points of the bevels touching. Turn
them over and spread glue in the bevel where they touch. Without
glue, set the Front and Rear Roof on the housebody. Tape over
the top and thru the dormer cutout to hold the parts in position as
the glue dries.

19. When the glue is dry, remove the Roofs and take off the tape; spread glue on
the housebody and Porch Beam where the Roofs touched, and glue the Roofs back
in place. Inspect the fit side-to-side (1

”), and make sure the Roofs make a good
fit with the Front Wall inside the Dormer hole.
Check the Porch Beam’s position by holding a Porch Rafter against it on both ends.
The Rafters must fit the edge of the Porch Roof the same on both ends
(they do not have to line up with the edge - they do have to fit the same).
