Getting Started; Square The Corners; Stain The Shingles; Pre-Assembly: Assemble The Foundation - Real Good Toys Special Edition Alison, Jr. Instructions Manual

Instructions for the Special Edition #SE-JM907 The Alison, Jr.
A: Getting Started:
Do these things before the house assembly

Square the corners

of the window, door, and stair holes with a utility knife - each
cutout has a rounded corner left over from the tool that made it. Make two cuts in
each corner from the outside (one from each direction), then cut from each direc-
tion on the inside to cut away the rounding in the corner so the window, door, or
stairs will fi t.
A Double-Cut Coarse File is
easier for many people to use
when squaring the corners.
Make several strokes from each
direction in each corner and test
the Window or Door to see how
it fi ts.

Stain the Shingles:

Our pro uses Real Good Toys' Shingle Dye
(available through your Real Good Toys miniature dealer) when dying
the shingles for this house. If you stain the shingles, you must use
penetrating oil based stain, not "rubbing", "Gel" or latex-based. Batch
dye or stain the shingles several days ahead of time so they will be dry
when the time comes to use them (instructions are with the shingle dye).
