Craftsman kits are a problem for the average guy IMHO. I purchased 2 quality (?) kits and was very disappointed. The windows each had to be trimmed to fit, why not make them to size? I built all of my houses myself, I am sure I could have done it. However, this is supposed to be fun, those were not. RTR12, I know some love the craftsman kits, that is great for them. I do not want to work that hard when I am supposed to be having fun. I can't be that picky myself when my trains have a third rail. Even though I have to have scale trains. To each their own, that is why they make different kits.
