Hi there!
Here is the fourth and second-to-last update on this kit.
So far, I’ve really enjoyed the kit; it’s simple, fun, and enjoyable.
…until you get to the damn roof, hahaha. Sorry, I can’t help but complain.
The roof structure is flimsy and wobbly, but that’s not the worst part—it’s the paper that goes between the wooden slats; it falls out, shifts around, doesn’t fit properly, and keeps coming loose all the time.
Interlocking wood would have been best; that way, it wouldn’t fall over or shift.
I wouldn’t recommend gluing it at this stage, because a plastic roof goes on top—and if you move the structure, it won’t fit!
I spent the whole morning trying to figure out how to get the roof right—did I manage it? NO, hahaha.
In the next post, I’ll tell you what I did to make it look “decent.”

@Sasa the simple fun lasted right up to that flimsy roof and shifting paper; your honest warning will help other Haunted Candy House builders.

I totally agree! But I have to say, putting on a paper roof didn’t really convince me.

Yeah, it’s a really bad system, honestly! I prefer wood.
