14. Glue  the  front  trim  pieces  in  place 

with white glue. These include 1 top 
and  2  side  pieces.  Glue  the  Alamo 
saloon  sign  in  place,  being  very 
careful  to  center  it  in  both  dimen-
sions. 

15. Glue the two crown pieces on either 

side of the peak to finish the cornice 
of the false front. 

16. Build the back steps by inserting the 

supports into the back wall using the 
short tabs. The long tabs support the 
stair treads. 

17. Glue the exterior windows and doors 

in place. Superglue may be used, but 
using  an  abundance  of  caution  to 
avoid  damaging  the  MDF’s  finish. 
TIP:  Apply  only  a  few  drops    and 
completely  skip  putting  glue  on  the 
edge  you  hold  with  your  fingers. 
Glue  on  the  top  and  bottom  of  the 
inside of a window is enough to hold 
it in place if superglue is used.  

18. Windows with sashes 

19. WORK  WITH  THE  WALL  FAC-

ING UPWARD AND ALLOW THE 
GLUE  TO  HARDEN  COMPLETE-
LY  BEFORE  WORKING  ON  AN-
OTHER SET OF HARDWARE. DO 
NOT  TRY  TO  HANDLE  THE 
OUTSIDE  AND  INDSIDE  PIECES 
OF  A  WINDOW  OR  DOOR  SIM-
ULTANEOUSLY! 

 

 

PROPER ORIENTATION 
OF WINDOW. TOP SASH 
OVERHANGS BOTTOM 
SASH SO WATER 
DOESN’T GET IN THE 
BUILDING!
