ToP Bar hive assembly instructions

Picture
Starting with the roof, lay out these pieces
Apply glue to the joints and screw together with 2.5" screws
Now grab a roof board.  The angled edge needs to be lined up with the peak on the end boards.  Center the upper holes on the roof board with the peaked roof end boards.  Apply glue to the joining faces and use four 2.5" screws in the holes that line up with the peaked end boards.  Use four 1.5" screws in the holes that line up with the longer side boards.  Repeat for the other roof side.
Now install the center strip by lining up the V notch with the roof peak.  Use six 1.5" screws to install.
Now layout the hive body pieces.
Flip up 1 of the side boards against the 2 end boards.  Apply glue to the joints.  Ensure the bottom edge of the end boards lines up with the recessed edge of the side board.  Use 6 2.5" screws to attach the side board to the end boards.  Repeat for the other side.  
If there is any bow in the end boards, apply pressure to the end board to straighten it when installing the screws.
Now slide the bottom board into place.  Make sure the end with screw holes farther away from the edge is on the side with the entrance.  Install with 2.5" screws.  Do not use glue.

Flip the box on its side, remove the film from the window and fit it into the the window recess.
Use 3/8" screws to attach the window.
Assemble the quilt frame using 2.5" screws.  Make sure the tapered edge of the sides is on the outer upper side.
Center the frame on the quilt cloth.  Staple the cloth to the frame using 3/8" staples.  Pull the cloth tight while doing so.
Fold over the corners on the end side like when wrapping a present.  Then staple.
Lay out 2 stand legs.  Match up the numbers marked on the recessed face.  
Fit the two pieces together by lining up the recessed cutouts.  May need a mallet to tap them together if they are tight.  Repeat for the other end
Screw the pair of legs to the 2x4 cross brace using 4" screws (requires #1 robertson bit).  Then repeat for the other end.
