□
31. Make a temporary Roof Support: Hold a 1"
Stripwood behind the Attic Front, straight up-and-down, and
centered behind the peak. Use the edges of the Attic Front as
a saw guide to cut the Stripwood to exactly match the Attic
Front at the peak. (Illustration #31A)
Make a temporary Roof Support Stand by taping two
Gable Triangles together and taping the Roof Support to
them. Put the Stand in the center at the back edge of the
Top Floor
□
32. Tape together the Left Roof and the Right Roof
at the peak (the ends with the bevels) Fold the Roofs at the
peak and put them on the house, lined up with the face of
the Attic Front. The Roofs are supported at the back edge
by the Roof Support Stand. Mark and paint the underside
of the Roofs where they overhang the Sides.
□
33. Turn the Roofs over and spread glue on the
bevels. Spread glue on the top edges of the Attic Front.
Tape the Roofs to the Attic Front and add additional tape
as necessary to keep the Left Roof tight to the back of the
Bay Walls (Illustration #33A) and lined up with the back
edge of the Gable Floor (Illustration #33B).
