Hi Roger I thought I would follow up on your email with a shot of the finished product. I will be posting 2 pics of finished houses on the Yahoo Groups lists by next week of 2 that I am just building. One is like the pic I am sending and the 2nd one is of a kit that I reversed the walls to make it a stucco type finish rather than the clapboard siding. I am putting lights in both of them as well and will try to do a night shot of them. I will send those to you also if you want. The roofing is a very real looking shake cedar look and the basement windows can be used or blocked off. This is a well done laser job.
I thought you may be interested in where this has gone. I am selling the kit for $95.00.
