chellebelle Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I must be totally dense, but I don't understand what edge I trim, how and why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The pic is blurry. What is it you are building? I would measure it against what you are building before cutting anything. You can always take more off, you can't put it back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I can't read the text to see what you're talking about. Since the two longframe pieces are shown taped together, does that mean you haven't glued them together yet? Maybe it's the edges of the wall sections that slide down into the longframe pieces that you have to trim? I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chellebelle Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Sorry it's blurry. It is the Heritage kit ( I FINALLY found one!!!) The thing I'm confused about is on page 8 ,figure 11, where I cut 4 -10 3/4" lengths from the large tower corner posts, glue them to the 4 small corner posts, in a v shape. Then it says to trim the edge off the large corner post. It doesn't say which edge, so is it the pointed edge that sticks out farther than the small post? I understand the big corner post is used to fit over the bricked walls and siding walls. So, when making the bay windows, it's the post that connects the window to the wall.

chellebelle Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm trying a bigger picture,it's figure 11. I haven't glued anything yet, just cut to length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Looking at the two pictures, it looks like the large tower corner post piece is wider than the small tower corner post, so that when they're glued together so the edges that meet in the "V" are flush with one another, the large tower corner post sticks out beyond the small tower corner post, and they want you to trim that long edge even with the small tower corner post. What I would do, if I were you, is to PM all the other members of this forum who admit to having built the Heritage to see if that's it, before you do trim it and find I'm wrong.

chellebelle Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thank you , Holly, I kinda thought that too, but it seemed like an awful lot of trimming, since 4 posts at 10 3/4" would add up to 40+ inches. I do appreciate how you and others on this forum are always so kind as to offer advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Like I said, I haven't built this one, but there are members who have, and I would wait to see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
