CHOKING HAZARD
– Small Parts. Not for children under 4 years.
Required tools:
scissors, damp cloth, straight edge (square), sand paper
(optional), tweezers (optional).
Helpful tips:
Read instructions, check all parts, and do a dry run before
gluing. Use only a small amount of glue. Glue one log and place before
gluing the next log. Keep each row of logs even and straight over the row
below (look from above for alignment). Periodically check that the door and
windows fit into the openings. Ensure the good side of the parts face out.
Tweezers may be useful for placing small parts. For the best fit and finish,
lightly sand the notches, the ends of the logs and other parts before gluing.
When finished enjoy your kit natural or paint some or all of it.

Building the Roof Panels
Step 1
With the ridges up, evenly glue two of the roof pieces together with the thin

•
according to the diagram. Ensure the short ends of the 1 notched logs are
towards the center, creating a doorway.

Step 10 (front & back - row 5)
Spread a small amount of glue in the grooves of both gables.

•
is facing out and the gables are straight up.
Placing the Roof

at the top.
