Fig. 115.—Interior of Stable.
To build the stable according to the drawings, a box ten by twelve by twenty-four inches should be procured for
The First Story.—If you have a box of different proportions it will be a simple matter to make such alterations in the details as it will require.
The Roof is made in two sections, each fifteen by eighteen inches, and is fastened to the top of the box so that the peak is twenty-two inches above the bottom.
The Gable-end is made in four pieces, as shown in [Fig. 116], A, B, and C, to be nailed in place, and D to be movable as in the case of the doll-house. Make a three-by-five-inch window in the centre of D, and fasten the glass in place with strips cut as described in [Chapter V]. Strips should be nailed to the roof just inside of the movable section to prevent the latter from setting in too far, and a spring catch fastened to C and D as shown, to hold the movable section in place.
