The house is super cute. If you want a house that’s put together in an hour and already weatherproof go buy a plastic one. This one requires some work. We built a deck for ours to sit on, also as soon as we had it put  together I put an exterior bonding primer on
It( after reading all the reviews).  We also sprayed the roof with the rubber seal spray stuff you see on commercials to protect and waterproof the roof. Then We added actual shingles.  yes it’s a bit more work but necessary if you want it to last.  

Another note there were a number of holes that didn’t line up with the wood planks they were suppose to and the kid Kraft emblem
Was on the door upside down and on the bottom. There were quiet a few holes that were in the wrong Place and never used. Also the directions do not accurately rep sent what pieces look like or how they are suppose to be secured. This took us 4 hours to put together.
