Esther Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 My hubby brought this house home yesterday. He got it off craigslist. The "shingles" and "siding" and "brick" and even the floors have printed patterns on them. It is wood, tab and slot construction, so obviously a kit. It needs a lot of TLC. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do to it or with it yet. Anybody know what it is called and who made it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATBIDLACK Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Is it home made or bashed. That stairway looks homemade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Its confusing I see tabs in the stairs I see thin walls and thick walls, I don't know what it is but, it is a nice house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggiemae Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I find the arrow houses hard to build. The ply is hard to handle because it is very light weight like bass or balsa and also very splintery. It is a great looking house, so that part is done and now it will be fun for you to decorate. I :whistle: craigslist. I got a RGT Williamsburg for $50.00 a couple of days ago. Yes, right before I was inspired to pare down! It is for a fund raising auction in April so I am getting started on it next week. RGT houses are easy builds but I am going to decorate and furnish it to make up for donating a kit house.

PATBIDLACK Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I am so dumb I have that kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_in_PA Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I think I have that one also, or a similar one from the same company. I think it was a cheap yard sale find that I didn't know what it was until I got it home ! It's up in my storage loft & I'm sure I'll never put it together !
