THE GHOST HOUSE –
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS page 7.
Next cut out the LEFT PORCH RAILS on Page 11. Remove the two white areas
(you may want to use an X-acto knife for this). At the top of the white areas are two
ledge panels. Cut along the white lines on either side of them, and then cut along
the white line beside the far right ledge panel. Below the two white areas are two
inner rails. Cut along the white lines on either side of them. Fold the three ledge
panels DOWNWARD along the blue lines and then fold the two inner rail panels
DOWNWARD along the blue lines. Fold the ledge panels and inner rail panels over
and glue them to the unprinted side of the piece, as shown in Figure 16 (shown
from the back). Now cut out the INNER POSTS on Page 11 and glue them
between the ledge and rail panels. This is so the inside of the porch will have
texture like the outside, instead of being blank. Turn the piece face up and fold the
corner post DOWNWARD along the blue line. Now put glue on the unprinted areas
on the back of the piece and position it over the porch and deck as shown in Figure
17. The bottom edge of the LEFT PORCH RAIL should line up with the bottom
edge of the PORCH. Glue the LEFT PORCH RAIL in place, connecting the piece
to the porch first and then to the deck. Trim the top edge of the deck rail if
necessary and darken with a marker if desired.
Cut out the RIGHT PORCH RAILS and INNER POSTS on Page 12. Assemble in
the same manner as the LEFT PORCH RAILS and attach to the porch and deck.
Now cut out the STEP RAILS on Page 12. Fold the two panels with red dots
DOWNWARD. Fold the outer rail panels DOWNWARD along the blue lines and
then fold the inner rail panels DOWNWARD along the blue lines. Glue the outer rail
panels to the unprinted sides of the inner rail panels and then glue the panels with
red dots directly over each other. To connect the STEP RAILS to the PORCH,
position the panel with the green dot directly over the exposed part of the gray front
panel on the PORCH (as shown in Figure 18) and glue in place.
Next cut out the STEPS on Page 11. Fold the panel with the yellow dot
DOWNWARD. Fold the panel with the red dot DOWNWARD. For each step: fold
DOWNWARD on the blue lines and fold UPWARD on the green lines. The folded
piece should resemble Figure 19. To connect the STEPS to the STEP RAILS, glue
the tab with the yellow dot to the back of the STEP RAIL piece and then glue the
tab with the red dot to the bottom of the STEP RAIL piece. The steps should now
resemble Figure 20.
