CamperKate Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I am building the Dura Craft Heritage and so far things have been going smoothly (thanks to otterine.com) . But, now I am stuck. I am trying to put together the two working front double hung windows. The instructions are so short and vague that I am lost. Has anyone put these together?

CamperKate Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 I posted this too soon. I think I have it solved! I am so enjoying this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathi17 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I'm glad you figured it out. It's coming along nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraftyMtnMom Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Ahh, the intriguing Heritage. It was the first house that I built using very minimal tools in about 2 weeks time. But I loved that house and my DD (who the house was built for) says it will never go anywhere. I don't remember the windows being a problem, but I can see how they could be. I think I read the instructions quite a few times as I figured it all out. I also did bashing that I didn't know was bashing at the time. I put a piece between the 2nd floor porch and the tiny 2nd floor porch. It did not make sense to me that the little people would have to crawl out a window to get to that bigger upper porch when there are doors that open on that 2nd level and would make it easier for them. After I put the piece between the 2 upper porches, I extended the railing all the way around the 2 combined porches (that now make one full upper porch/deck). I like it, my DD seems to like it and I hope the little people like it as well. I would very happily build another Heritage (even with the minimal tools I had then). I hope you and the house enjoy your build and it comes out exactly as you envision it. I am looking forward to seeing your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Did Dura-Craft kits ever design their double-hung windows to be the same in any two kits? After crying my way through all those *bad word* windows in the San Franciscan (the SF555 version) the Cambridge's were a piece of cake! I'm not even thinking about the Newburg's; one of the reasons it's still in its box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Holly, the Newberg is just die cut trim for the windows. So no need to worry about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly fr down in the pile of UFKs. Since someone mentioned that it's more die-cut than the other D-C kits I've built I might just go ahead and make my own windows & doors.
