Tips for Success!
Before You Begin
THIS KIT CONTAINS:
11 pre-cut wood sheets
One silkscreened plastic window sheet
One set of instructions
One set of schematic diagrams
ITEMS YOU NEED TO SUPPLY
Lead pencil and eraser
Emery board
Newspapers or other drop cloth
Masking tape
Extra sandpaper
Ruler or other straight edge
Wood filler
Stiff bristled brush
Glue ( We recommend that you use a hot melt glue gun and glue
sticks. White glue or household glue MUST be used on the plastic
windows. You can assemble the house with white or household
glue, however items will need to be clamped or otherwise held tight
while the glue dries. This slows down overall construction time
considerably.)

Hot melt glue and glue guns
may be found at your local
hardware or craft store!
1. Save the kit box as a safe "nest " for the wood sheets until all the
parts have been removed from them. Also the photos on the outside
of the box may be useful as a reference tool.
2. Set your work area up on a large flat surface with all of your
supplies at hand. Consider an area that does not have to be "cleared"
every day. Your project will take some time and if assemblies can
remain in place until the paint or glue dries, it will be to your
advantage.
3. Follow the instructions in order! Do NOT jump ahead or reverse the
order of assembly.
4. Only remove parts from the pre-cut wood sheets as they are called
for in the instructions. If there are parts that for any reason are
removed from the sheet but not called for yet, write the sheet
number on the cut out and re-file or tape the piece to the rest of that
sheet.
5. When removing pieces from the pre-cut sheets, do so with extreme
care. Some of these items are very detailed and somewhat fragile.
6. The schematic diagrams are labeled with the sheet number, part's
names, part's orientation (i.e., left, right, interior, exterior, etc.), and
where the tabs and slots fit (i.e., "front tabs" fit in piece labeled
"front"). It is helpful to write in pencil, this information on the
pieces before removing them from the sheets. All markings can
easily be erased later.
A well lit work area will
work best!
