UPDATE:
I'm still here - busy building jigs! I've got most of them done.
...waiting for some basswood I ordered - should be here next week - will start building a dollhouse then...
...On the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough...

Small house:
 |
| The interior measures 12"W x 8"D |
 |
| The 1st floor is set as far down as it will go & there's no knee wall in attic. |
The Jigs:
I've condensed the dozen or so jigs into one jig...

Found this great calculator site on compound miters
This is great to calculate an 'L' or 'T' shaped house wing / floor plan.
I'm using the 1st calculator of Chris Glad's:
Slope = the pitch. I'm only using 45°, so I enter 45.
Included Angle = 90° corner which is all I'm using, I would enter 90.
Not using 'The number of sides'
Results:
End Angle = on a table or miter saw - set the miter at 35.264° or as close as possible.
Bevel Angle = on a table or miter saw tilt the blade at 30°

| Exterior view shows parts can slide together with very good mitered joints! |

| The interior view shows the ceilings coming together without any gaps! |
