Assemble The Porch - Real Good Toys Beachside Bungalow Instructions Manual

Instructions for Kit #B 1895
Assemble the Porch: These instructions are customized for
stucco/texture paint. The Foundation, the Postbases, and the
Step 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 Porch parts. You may wish to lift the
Rails with some shingles.
□
12. Set the Front Step between the Postbases. Set the Tread
in place up-side-down (to "mask" the place on the foundation
where it will be glued); Texture paint the Foundation above the
Steps - avoid the edge of the Base Floor - trim will attach there
after everything else is done (keeping the texture paint away
from an edge is possible because the first-coat is the same color,
so the texture paint only has to approach the edge).
Now there is texture paint on the Foundation where it will be
visible, and there is no texture paint where the Step or Postbases
will glue.
Clean off the bottom of the Tread.
Do not glue the Step to the Foundation yet.
□
13. On the Left end, glue the 3
1 / " from the edge of the floor (and lifted with pairs of shingles if
8
desired). Put glue on both ends of the Railing.
Put the Postbase in place so it touches the Railing and gets a dot
of glue from each rail.
Texture paint the back and right side of the Postbase but do not
texture paint where the glue dots are... the grit in the texture paint
will interfere with the rail's glue joint. (You are putting texture
paint in places that will be next to other colors for a clean paint-
line, and you are not texture painting the left or front edges so you
can put the Handy Square and Porch Beam against the Postbase to
straighten it... you will paint those surfaces after the glue dries).
Glue the Postbase to the Foundation, Porch Floor, and Railing.
Straighten the Postbase with Handy Squares and the Porch Beam.
Check that the Railing is straight.
Let the glue dry.
