I built the "general store" kit a couple of years ago. These kits are craftsman level kits and truth be told, I found scratch building to be easier. The instructions in my kit were all written out, meaning no pictures other than plan and elevation drawings. You start out by cutting out all the paper templates, then taping those to cardstock and cutting that out too. Then you laminate the cardstock to the actual wooden exterior and finally cut out windows/doors etc. I remember in this kit that the position indicated for a window on the back wall was reversed on the cardstock versus where it was supposed to be according to the elevation drawings. Be careful! If I remember correctly, there were over 100 steps to complete the kit, not including painting, weathering, etc. The kit really turned out nice, but it was a major effort - not for the faint of heart.
