Window Assembly - Real Good Toys Special Edition Vermont Farmhouse, Jr. Instructions Manual

Instructions for the Special Edition Vermont Farmhouse Jr

Window Assembly:

Assemble the window frames before painting
�
26. Test assemble (no glue) a window set
Practice holding the frame pieces face-down on the
work surface and putting on the rubber band (Illustration
#23: a scrap of tape at each corner helps). In the illus-
trations, the hands are holding the frame parts down, not
squeezing together. When you can get the rubber band
on every time without pieces flying, then you are ready
for glue
�
27. Glue and rubber band together ten (10) window
frames. Make sure the assembly is square as the glue
dries (Illustration #24).
Gable Window: Glue and rubber band together two
sets (2) of four 2 13 / " Window Frames.

�
28. Check the fit of the windows in the openings.
Make sure the windows can sit level with the house.
Trim the corners of the openings square if necessary for
a good fit.
�
29. Paint the Shutter parts on both faces. Without
glue, adjust the spacing of the Shutter Panels on the
Shutter Cores (Illustration #25). Remove the Shutter
Panel, put a scant line of glue on each edge of the back
surface, then replace the Shutter Panel. Too much glue
will make the panel curl.
�
30. The Door: Pull the pin from the bottom of the
Door and tip out the door panel for painting (tape the
pins to the bottom of the threshold so they won't be lost)
Check the fit of the Door in the opening. Trim the
corners of the opening square if necessary for a good fit.
Glue the windows, the Door, and the Shuttters in
place only after everything (including the House-
body) is painted.
Attach the exterior window frames as part of the exterior finishing.
The Panes and Interior frames are installed after the interior finishing
is done (wallpaper, paint, etc.), set the window plexi into the window
cutout and glue the interior window frame in place.

A snip of tape in the corners helps keep the
parts still while you put put on the rubber
band, but take off the tape while the glue dries.
