ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Fit the 4 walls and
floor together. The floor-
boards are oriented front
-to-back (not side-to-
side). Glue and hold in
place with rubber bands
until dry. Note that the
floor fits into notches in
each wall that are
above
the ground level.
2. Glue the roof truss
to the underside of the
roof pieces. Note: the
back edge of the roof
has un-even shingles and
the front has a totally
flat edge.
3. You may want to
use a quick-setting glue
since the angles make
clamping difficult. Just
be careful not to get glue
on the etched details
(your sticky fingers can
be the culprit, by the
way).
4. Work on the porch
assembly
separately.
There are two rails and
four cross-braces. The
middle two cross-braces
have short pegs on one
end to connect to the
building, and long pegs
on the other to form a
stair-step.
5. When gluing the
framework to the surface
of the porch, line up the
back edge so the pegs
that connect it to the
building are sticking out.
6. Glue the porch to
the building, using glue
not only on the pegs, but
also on the back edge of
the boardwalk piece.
7. As you can see from
the rear-view photo the
back porch steps follow the
same logic. The short pegs
go in the building, and the
stairs are glued to the top
surfaces of the stair frame
pieces.
8. Glue the porch roof pil-
lars in place (optional—for
some buildings you may
wish to leave them off).
The pillars with two legs
go on the ends, and the “L”
shaped pillars go in the
middle.
9. Glue the porch roof on
top of the pillars, and the
back edge to the front of
the building for extra
strength. Make sure the
raggedy edge of the roof is
on the bottom and the
straight edge is on the top!
After the roof is glued in
place, attach skinny verti-
cal side trim pieces, front-
facing top trim, and cor-
nice, resting atop the false
front.
10. Glue metal windows
and doors in place. Each
window and each door
have an inside woodwork
element, and the wall of
the building is sandwiched
between the two pieces.
11. Note how the win-
dows are positioned. In
order to be right-side-up,
the upper sash on the out-
side of the building must
overhang the lower sash.
Windows are made this
way in order to shed water.
