Instructions for kit #DH77K
The Attic Divider is temporarily assembled and used as a locator during
assembly. These instructions will refer to it as a single part, but keep it
un-glued until you can test different floor layouts in the "Finish the inside"
section at the end. For now, just tape the Attic Divider securely together.
Trace the Attic Divider onto one Tower Side (

Temporarily tape together a wall set... see how they overlap at the corners.
Temporarily set the walls on the Base Floor, approximately
cept walls D, F, and G). Use the Dividers shown below to confirm the walls' posi-
tions. Use a 13" Divider to confirm wall F's position from the floor's right edge.

The outside of the second tracing is an ex-
terior wall and will be painted to just cover
the line when painting the exterior color.
The inside of the first tracing is an interior
wall and should be painted and sanded if
painting and sanding the interior walls.

Turn the wall set over and trace the bottom of the mid
and top Floors (they are both "Upper Floors" until you
paint them differently).

Do not trace or paint the top of the top Floor.
Flooring: Hardwood flooring, carpeting, or tile is
applied after assembly is complete. Paint or Faux-
Wood flooring is done before assembly.
Google: "Faux Wood Floor on MDF gpr01010" or
www.dollhouseworkshop.net/RGT/Videos/Faux-wood.html
Builder's Note: I often cut masking tape
in the center between the inside and outside tracings, then do
Faux-Wood finish on the whole floor, even the porch floor and
outside of the walls. If the final plan calls for applied flooring
somewhere I scuff the paint with 100 grit sandpaper and ap-
ply the flooring right over the Faux-Wood, but this finish gives
a nice look right from the start and gives flexibility later.
Paint outside the tracings (or faux wood).
Paint the ceilings when the time comes for
interior painting.
