□
20. Glue and tape the Dormer to the house, lined up
on the inside of the cutout.
□
21. Cut Dormer Vertical Trim for the Dormer. Use
3 / x 5 / Stripwood for the side trim, and left overs of
32 16
the 3 / x 7 / Stripwood used on the Side Vertical Trim
32 16
for the front. Cut the Side Trim first, then the Front Trim.
Leave a gap at the bottom for shingles (2 thicknesses
of shingles) so you won't have to cut the shingles to go
around the Trim.
Glue and tape the Trim in place.
□
22. Tape together the Dormer Roofs at the peak. Test them in
place on the Dormer, and mark the position on the Front Roof.
Glue and tape the Dormer Roofs to the Dormer and Front Roof.
Mark the position
Builder's note: It's always hard getting down-
pressure on the back edge of the Dormer Roof.
Sometimes I tape weights to the Dormer Roofs;
this time I taped two Attic Dividers together and
hung them over the Dormer Roofs, then taped
them to the roof. After the Front edge of the
Dormer Roof was taped down, I looked under
the Dormer Roof's overhang, and could see how
much down pressure was needed to get contact
at the top of the Dormer Side. I pulled down on
the outside of the Attic Dividers with long flaps
of tape on the left and right evenly until the fit
was good.
