Instructions for kit #HB 1900
□
9. Glue, tape, and weight the Base Floor to the Foundation.
Glue together the Base Step and the 2nd step. Let the glue dry.
Builder's tip: Skip ahead whenever glue is drying to pre-assembly
steps like Windows and Brackets so they will be ready when you
are ready for them.
□
10. Glue, tape, and weight the fi rst-fl oor walls to the Base.
If you are waiting to install the Divider, set it in place without
glue to hold the Front straight. Tape the Handy Squares to the
Sides while the glue dries.
Assemble the Porch: These instructions are customized for
stucco/texture paint. The Foundation, the Postbases, and the
Steps base are painted with one coat only of the paint color with
no texture additive, and they are sanded. The Rails, the Post sets,
the Arches, and the Porch Beam are painted with two coats.
Stucco/texture paint is mixed and ready.
Without glue, set up the parts as they were in the test-setup (ex-
cept the Arches). You may wish to lift the Rails with a shingle.
□
11. Set the Front Steps between the Center Postbases. Set
the top Tread in place up-side-down (to "mask" the place on
the foundation where they will be glued) and Texture paint the
Foundation above the Steps (avoid the edge of the Base Floor -
Stripwood will attach there after everything else is done (keeping
the texture paint away from an edge is possible because of the
fi rst-coat in the same color).
Move the Tread to the Base Step and paint the front of the 2nd
Step. Mark the Steps Base at the front of the Center Postbases,
and texture paint in front of the marks. Do not glue the Steps to
the Foundation yet.
