Leave a gap at the bottom for shingles (2 thicknesses of shin-

Let the glue dry - take off the tape.
This Dormer Front had a curve from the moisture of painting. I used a Divider

20. Glue and tape Dormer Sides to the Dormer Front,
lined up on the edges and at the top. Tape Handy Squares
into the assembly to hold the Sides square.
