[. . . ] With the side walls face down, position and glue the first floor side supports in place. Keep them flush with the bottom edge of the wall and centered from side to side. Glue the second floor side supports on the twelfth log, keeping front edge flush to front edge of wall. With the front wall face down, position and glue the first floor support under the front door opening. Keep it flush with the bottom edge of the wall and centered under the door opening. You may find that it will be necessary to sand the openings slightly to ease the interlock process. Now you will glue the ¾" squares or "log ends" onto the backside of each log that extends out past the interlock. Each ¾" square should be flush with the log you are gluing it to.

Tips for Success! 1. Save the kit box as a safe "nest " for the wood sheets until all the parts have been removed from them. Also the photos on the outside of the box may be useful as a reference tool. Set your work area up on a large flat surface with all of your supplies at hand. Consider an area that does not have to be "cleared" every day. Your project will take some time and if assemblies can remain in place until the paint or glue dries, it will be to your advantage. Only remove parts from the pre-cut wood sheets as they are called for in the instructions. If there are parts that for any reason are removed from the sheet but not called for yet, write the sheet number on the cut out and re-file or tape the piece to the rest of that sheet. When removing pieces from the pre-cut sheets, do so with extreme care. [. . . ] Use the wood fill to smooth joints between tabs and slots and on corner seams. Satin finish latex house paint will give a better result than either flat or gloss finish. Be sure to check your local craft shop for other decorative items such as siding, floor tiles, carpet, electrification kits, furniture, etc. 1. With the front wall of the house face up, glue the window box back underneath the window opening as if it were the window trim bottom. [. . . ]
