Instructions for kit #71K
Set Up the Walls
□
1. Without glue, set up the 1st floor Walls
and Connectors on the Base Floor (be sure the
square edges of the 135° Connector corners are in
line with the Floor panel, not at 45°, and that the
narrower surface (
/
") of the 90° connector faces
5

the front). Adjust the Wall layout until all the
panels are straight up and down: the End Caps line
up with the back of the Floor, and the Walls are
parallel with the floor's edge (not all the same, but
all approximately parallel; when the nosing is at-
tached (pg. 6), the differences will be minimized).

Pro tip: The 13" Divider measures from the rear edge
of the Floor to the inside of wall G. A 15
locates the 135° Connector on wall E. In the porch,

90°Connector on Wall E.

2. Trace the inside and the outside of the Wall
layout on the Floor. Paint the floor outside of the
tracing to just cover the line.
□
3. Glue the walls to the Floor following the
inside tracing.
Set the 13" Divider against the back of wall "G" and
a 15

edge of wall E. These Dividers ensure the walls are
straight up-and-down as the glue dries
□
4. Test, trace, and paint the under-side of the
2nd Floor (as in step #2). Glue the Second Floor
panel in place; check the spacing. Use weight
and tape for a tight fit. Make sure the rear edge of
the Side Walls are flush and that everything is set
straight and square. Make sure the house is flat on a
flat surface as the glue dries.
