  • Pre-finish the floors with acrylic urethane or 'OneStep' or 'PolyShades' urethane+stain mixed together (a surface rather than a penetrating finish). Glue and tape the floors and sides. The floors stick out 1/8 in front (up)

  • The'Groove-fill' may be a snug fit

  • Line up the edge of the Base - plenty of tape

  • Straighten the house as you tape up the side.

  • Line up the edge of the Front with the surface of the Side carefully all the way to the top

  • The Tower Side with the 9" Fills already in place (not in order of the instruction, but a handy way to keep dried glue from interfering with the fit of the Fills later)

  • The Tower Floors. If you've pre-finished them, you can tape to the flooring surface too

  • Otherwise, just keep the tape on the bottom

  • The other Tower Side - 9" fills too

  • The Left Front. Plenty of glue, plenty of tape. Line up everything carefully at the top edge

  • The Tower Front. Line up both sides from the base to the top

  • Trace and paint the bottom of the Top Floor - leave some space above the walls un-painted for glue
