GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Identify and inspect all parts using the Parts List and
Parts Diagram.
• Read the directions completely before beginning the
project.
• If possible, have a dedicated work area so that you are
not unpacking, repacking, and moving the project from
place to place.
• Choose a work surface that is level, clean, dry, and pro-
tected from spills.
• Do a dry fit, using masking tape to hold parts in place,
to make sure everything fits together correctly before
assembling permanently.

1.
Place Foundation flat on the work surface.
Orient it with the grooves facing up and the
rabbet that is along the edge to the left.
2. Glue the Middle Braces into the long parallel
grooves. They are flush at the right and left
sides.
3. Glue the Connecting Brace into the
connecting groove and between
the Middle Braces. The Connecting
Brace sits lower than the two Middle Braces.
4. Glue the Left Braces into the left rabbet. They
are flush with the Foundation and butt up
against the Middle Braces. Set this foundation
assembly aside.
Not Suitable for Children
under 15 years old.
Tips: Plan the finishes for the interior and exterior at the
dry-fit stage, before final/permanent assembly. It is easier
to finish the panels as flat surfaces. Disassemble and
finish as desired, then reassemble using glue.
References to the orientation of the house assume that
the front is street facing while the side with the piazzas
(Charlestonian for balcony) is to the right and the open
side is to the left.

CHOKING HAZARD — Small parts
