23. Tape together the Cricket Roofs at the peak. Lay the
Cricket Triangle into the roof set spaced evenly from the front
edges and set back so that the bottom edge of the Cricket Tri-
angle exactly matches the bevels on the Cricket Roof edge.
Paint the Cricket Set parts.
Glue and tape the Cricket set together.
When the glue is dry, glue the Cricket to the Porch Roof, lined
up on the front edge and centered side-to-side.
Let the glue dry.

construction is with fi rst-coated parts that have been sanded.
