Section D. Bay Windows & Section F. Porch Before beginning, widen all slots and make all tabs narrower. Bricks and large cans of tomatoes make good weights.Also, if you are going to wallpaper the Bay, wallpaper the pieces before gluing the bay together. I doubt that you can get in there with wallpaper after it is glued in place. Spray the wallpaper with sealer so that the paper is not damaged if you have to clean up glue drips inside.Section D. Bay WindowsWell, I had some real manipulation problems with the Bay Windows. I simply could not get all the pieces to “hang” together by following the instructions. After a number of false starts, I worked out a method that worked for me. The supplied instructions may work for you. I needed to find another way.Steps 1 & 2 for Right Bay Window1. I glued the Bay window floor to the first floor and at the same time glued the two larger foundation pieces under it. I could not get the Bay floor to stay in place properly otherwise. I weighted it down with a brick and let it dry.blog-242-1120222457_thumb.jpg2. I pushed the two major pieces of the Bay Window sides into the slots of the Bay Window roof and glued the roof to the 2nd floor and pushed the window pieces against the floor “slots” where I had added glue. Then I added glue into the top slots and ran a bead of glue down the window and taped it closed. I put a brick on the second floor for weight and let the whole thing dry.blog-242-1120222649_thumb.jpg3. When dry, I glued the two small side pieces to the foundation and the two small side pieces to the window. I taped the side Window pieces until dry.blog-242-1120222718_thumb.jpgSteps 1 -3 for Front Bay Window1. I used a similar approach as above except this Window was simpler because the bay floor and roof are part of their respective floors.blog-242-1120222790_thumb.jpgSection F. Porch1. Steps 1-4 had no real problems, except I found it easier to put the house on its back and:---a.Put a bead of glue around the underside of the porch. I then put glue on the short and longer side pieces and glued them on. I gave them a minute or two firm up. I then glued the front piece on. blog-242-1120222851_thumb.jpg2. Subsection: Step. I will attach the step at the end. -----------blog-242-1120222921_thumb.jpg blog-242-1120222984_thumb.jpg blog-242-1120223036_thumb.jpgNow that the body of the house is finished and I can see its lines, I have started to think about the house as something functioning well in the lifestyle of the little people I think should live there.I see it as a small vacation house situated on a bay or tidal inlet. It has a dock and a small boathouse. The house faces the water and the cedar shakes and clapboard have weathered to a glistening silver-grey from the salt-sea air.B) Complements of judith
