NOTE: Please do a dry assembly using only tape to hold house together. This will get
you familiar with parts, location, and fit. This also give you a chance to visualize how
you want to approach the build.
Materials for build;
1. Wood glue, you may use Titebond, elmers or any good wood glue
2. Masking tape to hold house in place during assembly and gluing.
3. Utility knife for cutting out shingles and forming exterior frames after shingling
roof.
4. 200-300 grit sandpaper
5. Alcohol for cleaning laser burn areas and post (optional)
6. Your choice of paint, recommend spray paint and a spray sealer for small items.

NOTE: Please do a dry assembly using only tape to hold house together. This will get
you familiar with parts, location, and fit. This also give you a chance to visualize how
you want to approach the build. Instructions cover basic assembly not when to paint,
stain, or glue as this depends on you build and what you are adding. THIS IS WHY IT IS
IMPORTANT TO DO A DRY ASSEMBLY!!! Once dry assembly completed prep, paint,
wallpaper and stain all items for assembly and glue in place.
Step 1. Locate base floor and support rails, turn base upside down and insert support
rail skirts. See figure 1
Figure 1
Figure 2
Step 2. (SKIP STEP IF DRY ASSEMBLING)
Install interior window frames, when installing place
frame on interior side and align to where you see
equal amount of frame on each side when viewing
from the front. Once in place add a small amount of
super glue from the front opening along the frame
and window edge. See figure 2

Step 3. Install Interior and exterior doors to walls and frames. See figure 3
ONLY GLUE IN FINAL ASSEMBLY.
Figure 3
Figure 4
Step 4. Install walls 1A thru 1M to assembled first floor
base. See figure 4.

Step 5. Install second floor on to the first floor walls. Figure 5
Figure 5
Figure 6
Step 6. Stairs assembly, locate stair case. The bottom
riser (step) is the side with the ¼ “ square dowel.

Step 7. Install tread to each step. For this house we will have
our handrail on the right side. Make sure to glue in place with
the square cutouts to the right for your spindles. Figure 7
Figure 7
Figure 8
Step 8. Install the spindles with the slop facing back.
As in Figure 8. seat the spindles firmly within the
square cutouts. They should seat to the first bottom
grove in the spindle.

Step 9. with spindles installed, now glue to the front riser a
newel post. Make sure post is aligned to the outside of the first
riser and the spindles are centered. Figure 9
Figure 9
Figure 10
Step 10. Install the handrail. First glue to lower
newel post, view rail angle to spindles and
starting from the bottom glue each spindle to
rail. Adjust to rail angle. (Do not push rail to
spindle as this will result in your rail not being
straight.) Adjust spindle angle by prushing fwd
or back to change angle. Figure 10

Step 11. Glue top Newel post to front of handrail and top
tread. Figure 11 repeat steps for second floor stairs. Paint
and let dry.
Figure 11
Figure 12
Step 12. assemble side long safety stair rails
(x2), using 5 spindles evenly spaced along the
rail and mark. Next glue to handrail. Figures 12
and 13.
Figure 13

Step 13. install top handrail making sure it aligns to
bottom rail. Figure 14. repeat steps for second set for third
floor.
Figure 14
Figure 15
Step 14. Using 3 spindles repeat steps to
assemble as you did earlier. Figure 15 you
should now have one short and two long sets
of safety rails
Figure 16
Step 15. Install 3 newel post forming an L
shape with the small run to the left (third
Floors) and 2 newel post forming one rail
for the second floor. See figure 16, paint
and let dry.

Step 16. Locate porch stair assembly, figure 17
Figure 17
Figure 18
Step 17. Apply treads with cutouts evenly
across each step. Figure 18.
Figure 19
Step 18. Install stair spindles with angle
towards front. Figure 19, make sure each
one seat in the cutout.

Step 19. Install a newel post to each end gluing to the
front riser (step) and aligned to edge of stair assembly,
centered with spindles. Figure 20.
Figure 20
Figure 21
Step 20. Install handrails by gluing to newel
post and centering onto spindles. Figure 21,
paint and let dry.
Figure 22
Step 21. Install stairs glue even to floor so
that it is flush. Figure 22

Step 22. Install single run safety rail and the second floors
walls. Figure 23. Make sure all doors, door frames and
windows are installed prior to gluing.
Figure 23
Figure 24
Step 23. Install third floor onto second floor
walls, glue and let dry. Figure 24

Step 24. Install stairs and glue flush to third floor. Figure 25
Figure 25
Figure 26
Step 25. Using wall 3A as reference install “L”
shaped safety rail aligning to wall and front of
stair post. Figure 26.

Step 26. Install 3rd floor walls 3A, 3B, and 3C.
Figure 27. Make sure doors, door frames, and
windows and installed prior to gluing.
Figure 27
Figure 28
Step 27. Install main roof panels front and rear
and glue third floor down. Figure 28.

Step 28. Install 3rd floor walls 3D and 3E, figure 30
Figure 30
Figure 31
Step 29. Install front Alcove roof panels and
glue down in place. Figure 31 From the inside
align alcove panels to main roof opening and
glue in place. Figure 32
Figure 32

Step 30. Install Main roof running trim. Figure 33

Figure 34
Figure 35
Step 32. Install main roof side gables.

Step 33. Divide all porch trim into pairs by pairing
top and bottom rails by length. You should end
up with 3 single bottom rails. All other should be
paired up, the longest set will divide up into the
first floor top rail over the steps and the bottom
rail for the second floor between alcoves. Now
using the engraved marks on the first floor divide
up into there prospective sections and move
forward with post placement. Starting at one end
glue a bottom rail to two post and install to the
first floor. Use the engraved marks as post
position reference. Figure 36. DO NOT GLUE TOP
OF POST TO SECOND FLOOR.

Step 34. Using front installed post continue
installing post on side of house. Remember
do not glue to ceiling. Figure 38

Step 35. Take longest top rail and glue in front of
house adding a post to the right. This is the porch
opening for the porch stairs. Figure 39.

Step 36. Continue installing porch
assembly until all post and rails are
installed. Figure 40. Now lay house on side
and apply small amount of superglue to
top of post (figure 41) and press together.

Step 37. Using the same process apply to the
second floor two post with a bottom rail,
figure 42 and continue around the side
applying the side post and rails. Figure 43
