THE GHOST HOUSE –

 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS  page 5.

The Ghost House has a solarium on the left side and a library on the right. They 
will both be constructed in the same way. We’ll start with the Solarium. Cut out the 
SOLARIUM on Page 7. Cut along the two white lines to separate the two sets of 
dark gray tabs from each other. Fold the two light gray tabs DOWNWARD and 
then fold the wall panels DOWNWARD along the two blue lines. Now fold the four 
dark gray tabs downward. Glue the two tabs with green dots directly over each 
other and then do the same for the two tabs with red dots. Place the SOLARIUM 
over the blank brown area on the left side of the house. Glue the two gray tabs to 
the brown area, as shown in figure 10. 

After finishing the solarium, cut out the LIBRARY on Page 7 and assemble it in the 
same way as the solarium. Connect the LIBRARY to the blank brown area on the 
right side of the house. 

Next cut out the SOLARIUM ROOF on Page 8. Fold the three gray tabs 
DOWNWARD. Fold the bottom and top panels DOWNWARD along the blue lines 
and then fold the triangular panel DOWNWARD. Glue the tab with the green dot to 
the inside of the adjoining top panel. Then glue the tab with the red dot to the 
inside of the triangular panel. Glue the blank gray tab to the inside of the adjoining 
top panel. Attach the SOLARIUM ROOF to the SOLARIUM by placing glue on the 
two SOLARIUM corners (with the green and red dots) and then attaching the 
SOLARIUM ROOF in the same manner as we did the main roof. 

After attaching the solarium roof, cut out the LIBRARY ROOF on Page 8 and 
assemble it in the same way as the solarium roof. Connect the LIBRARY ROOF to 
the LIBRARY.

After the roof pieces have had time to dry securely, cut out the PORCH on Page 9. 
Cut along the white lines between the two sets of tabs with yellow dots. Fold the 
four tabs with yellow dots DOWNWARD. Then fold the tab with the green dot 
DOWNWARD and fold the two tabs with blue dots DOWNWARD. Fold the large 
gray front panel and the two gray side panels DOWNWARD. Glue the two tabs 
with blue dots to the inside of the large gray front panel. For each pair of tabs with 
yellow dots, glue one directly over the other. To attach the PORCH to the HOUSE 
FRONT, place glue on the tab with the green dot and the two corner tabs with 
yellow dots. Slide the PORCH into position as shown in Figure 11 and glue in 
place. The porch floor should set level with the top edge of the foundation bricks on 
the house.
