captain tiny Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 there is an older san fran on craigs list this morning for 25 bucks in the box. it seems to be a nightmare to build though - how much time on average does it take to put this one together so i can decide - thnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I built the SF555. It took me 3 1/2 years for these reasons: It was my first kit and I had not one clue, neither any internet support; I was attending Nursing School full time and working part time after the first semester of Med-Surg; and I just naturally take my time.

captain tiny Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I think I am going to skip this one then - considering I am working full time and going to school part time - and i have quite a few projects going already - I would never get it done - lol - thnx! altho it does look beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I wish I lived closer, I'd take it in aheartbeat; and I'll bet you'll wind up kicking yourself from now until next year for letting it get away at that steal! A gorgeous house like that is worth putting in extra thought, time & art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokelly Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Get it! It's really a steal. Don't be intimidated. Dura-craft houses are different, but worth it in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeninky Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 You can always save it for when you do have more time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4miniloves Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I would be all over that and I am very cheap! That is an amazing house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathi17 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I built the 557 MDF San Fran in about two months, but I worked on it for about ten hours per day. I bought it at the end of October to give to my granddaughter for Christmas. It's an awesome house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain tiny Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 I was still deliberating - but then... I had a horrible nightmare that this house was haunted - it even brought my real dead dog back to life as a demon - lol - which i guess i should not laugh at - sometimes you just have to laugh - I do NOT want it in my real house. I know this sounds nuts - but anyone that is nightmare prone will know that having it here will trigger the dream again and again. So there you all have it. I guess I am crazy as a loon. But if anyone is in NC - or wants to pay for shipping I could pick it up for you. The lady hasn't had any other people interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lady hasn't had any other people interested. the house is telling you one of 2 things to get it an make it a haunted house or that you will regret not getting it. how much do you think shipping will cost for NC to NJ??? if its reasonable i might have to take up your offer PM me with what you decided to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
