Front/Back Overlap The Sides; Install The Middle Foundations - Real Good Toys Victoria’s Farmhouse Instructions Manual

Instructions for Special Edition Kit #JM-1065 Victoria's Farmhouse
Can I do it differently? Yes you can - it's your house!
The information on these pages is offered as "best practices" advice, and it is what we do when we build this house.
But if you are customizing or have something else in mind, test-ahead to make sure your planning includes everything!

c 4 A.
Glue and tape together the Foundation pe-
rimeter. The Front and Back overlap the Sides
(Illustration #1).
B. Install the Middle Foundations spaced
evenly (about ±11") from each other (Illustration #2).
In step 5, you are marking the Porch floor and ceiling for
painting using the Top Floor as a template. But, the left
edge of the Top Floor doesn't line up with the left edge of the
Middle Floor or Base Floor (the Top Floor overlaps the walls,
while the lower floors fit into grooves), so the stair hole will be
used as a side-to-side reference instead of the left edge.
c 5. A. Identify
the top and front edges of the Top
Floor ( ,) - the Gable Top Floor (
( 3 / ) 28 x 14 1 /
8 2
) shows the spacing from the left edge to the stair
5 3 /
4
hole (14 1 / "), and the stair hole is closer to the front
2
edge. Glue and tape the Gable Top Floor to the front
edge of the Top Floor, lined up on the left
B. Identify the left edge of the Mid Floor - the stair
" from the left edge, and 16
hole is spaced 14 1 /
4
from the right edge (looking from the front). Set the
Mid Floor on the Base Floor, lined up on the edges.
Very lightly trace the left and right edges of the stair
hole onto the Base Floor. Remove the Middle Floor.
C.
Set the Top Floor/Gable Floor on the Mid Floor
lined up at the back edge and lined up side-to-side at
the stair holes (the left edge of the Top Floor will over-
hang 1 / " on the left edge). Trace the Top Floor/Gable
4
Floor perimeter onto the Mid Floor. This tracing is the
outside edge of the right walls - outside the tracing is
the Porch Floor. Trace the Top Floor/Gable Floor onto
the bottom surface of the Mid Floor. This tracing is the
Porch Ceiling (make sure the tracings line up with each
other)
D. Set the Top Floor/Gable Floor on the Base Floor
lined up at the back edge and lined up side-to-side with
the stair hole tracing (the left edge of the Top Floor
will overhang 1 / "). Trace the Top Floor/Gable Floor
4
perimeter onto the Base Floor.
