From what I can found out.. this is one of the houses that was sold at Hobby Lobby. I cheaper version of the better made ones that come from Vermont.

I am glad that RGT is still using quality materials for their houses, as evidenced buyt he plywood front gable. I thought all of their houses were made in Vermont. Do you think it might be a knock-off?Tabitha Corsicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204999959878537971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819660980401728469.post-73637581218390038532011-02-11T08:08:48.091-06:002011-02-11T08:08:48.091-06:00Hi Tabitha, I'm pretty sure that the walls and...Hi Tabitha, I'm pretty sure that the walls and floors are MDF. When the replacement for the Front Gable came in the mail. It was Plywood. I could the see the difference. Mine was not made in Vermont. It was from overseas. Your right about the warping. This had so many parts that were warped, I had to lay heavy books on them to get it to go back straight. <br />I thought about wiring it for electric. But changed my mind since this house had so much damage. I'm going to save my money for the next house and then wire it. The pictures do a really good job of hiding how much real damage there is. <br />I figured this house could be my "get my toes wet" and if I made a mistake....I would not freak out to bad..LOL! <br />Happy to hear from you! <br /><br />Love <br />MMMMindy Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654158745731595063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819660980401728469.post-46657667832171284382011-02-11T05:49:15.488-06:002011-02-11T05:49:15.488-06:00I see that house is coming along.

The kit I used was all 3/8 plywood, but then it was 18 years old. I am not particularly fond of MDF as it has a tendency to warp unless it is sealed first.<br /><br />Are you going to electrify this house? Best to do it now...you'll be sorry later if you don't. :-)Tabitha Corsicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204999959878537971noreply@blogger.com
