havanaholly Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Welcome to the little family, Suanne. I grew up in S FL, spent 30+ years in N FL and now live just over the Perdido River in AL. Which of the Dura-Craft San Franciscans are you building? The SF557 was the last version of the kit, and was made of MDF. The SF555 was the first kit I ever built.

havanaholly Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Which wood strips? The long frame pieces, or the decorative strips that radiate from the gable window on the SF550? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seen to figure out the front part where the wood strips go ' yes, which pieces - is it the front where the windows are? If you've recently started that may be what you're referring to. These would be the pieces that are glued together and have a slot for them to slide into? most of them slide into the base after the base is assembled. I didn't necessarily follow the order of instructions because I'm a visual learner so I had a hard time with the instructions and some of them didn't make sense to me so I had to work my way through without necessarily following them, (if that makes any sense at all.) If you look in my SF555 album (you can see it in my profile) you might be able to see where the pieces you're talking about go......hopefully you'll see this soon and don't give up! These are some of the harder kits until you "see" how its put together. Let us know how to help you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
