GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
•Identify and inspect all parts using the Parts List and Parts Diagram.
•Read the directions completely before beginning the project.
•If possible, it is most ideal to 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, flat, clean, dry, and protected
from spills.
•Do a dry fit, using masking tape to hold parts in place, to make sure
everything fits together correctly before permanent assembly.
Tip: 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.
