- Page 27 House Dry Assembly The Dry assembly is done to assure all parts are in kit and the you get familiar with kit assembly prior to gluing. This is where once we are done we can visualize the house, mark rooms for what we plan to make them into, prepare our list or materials and order furniture. This is in my opinion the most important part of entering the build process.
