- The front and back pieces are identical and each has a rectangular base (3" high by 5 1/2" wide) with a triangular roof section on top.
- The total height of the front/back piece is 7 1/2", so the height of the triangular roof section is 7 1/2" - 3" = 4 1/2".
- The base of the triangle is the same as the width of the rectangle, which is 5 1/2".
- The roof pieces are rectangles measuring 6 1/2" by 7". Two of these are needed.
- The side pieces are rectangles measuring 3" by 5". Two of these are needed.
- To assemble the house: attach the two side pieces to the rectangular bases of the front and back pieces. Attach the roof pieces to the sloped edges of the front and back pieces, ensuring they cover the triangular sections.
