Fit the Perspex (plastic glass) window panes
Cut the Perspex with a bench saw or sharp handsaw, to fit neatly in between the battens surrounding the window openings. The Perspex panes can be held in place with beading resting against the Perspex and nailed to the surrounding battens.
NOTE: The beading can be a ripping or off-cut from the left over batten lumber.

Hang the door
Hold the door in place with packers or wedges (ensuring an even gap all around) and add the hinges. Lastly, add a door handle of sorts and there's the door!

Make ridge capping
Make up the ridge capping in the same way as the roof beams were made in STEP 12.
Make each one (four altogether) slightly longer than the length of the ridge along each dormer. Cut a 45 degree angle inwards at the end of each piece.
Two of the pieces ONLY will need the end of the point cut off, vertically and directly above the adjacent ridge.
See picture above.
