Tess11 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I have these two little pieces that are supposed to be roof supports for the Storybook Cottage and I have no clue how they go in the house. Granted, I got a little over-ambitious and put the whole thing together (without really reading the directions all that closely) and now I realize I have these left over parts, but I can't even begin to figure out where they go. I assume they are part of the attic, but every way I try to put them in, they don't seem to fit. Could anyone who has built this little lady explain? Will she fall apart if I just toss them into my wood stash? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJEP Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Are they kind of long and skinny? It has been awhile since I built mine, but looking at it, there are two long and skinny pieces that sit on the back walls and the second floor that hold up the back roof. I can try to take a picture if you need it, but the grooves fit on the back wall and the floor and the the roof rests on the slanted piece. It is in a weird place to get a picture once the house is finished. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 There are slots in the roof panels that you insert them into. I didn't bother using mine, but it depends on how you are going to use your dollhouse. If it's for kids, you'll want to use the support. Since i did my attic up in a different way, i plan on inserting wood along the inside of the peak to provide support but i'm not going to use the supports that came with the kit.

havanaholly Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The one I "rehabbed" was already built and in no way could I begin to disassemble that puppy, but the roof supports were there and no way was that roof going anywhere.

Tess11 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks, Guys. With your help and a lot of messing around, I figured it out. Since this is Paige's house, I decided it was important to have them. Thanks, again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
