Houses on the cheap

Good evening,
 These houses that I'm putting up here ,Ive never put up before. That are intact...I have not blown them up...yet. Anyways I bought these little gems in a grocery store for 4 dollars each. They were just bare wood
but I thought  they were  a hell of a deal. Their real wood almost a half an inch thick. The windows and door were all cut out. I added the paint, doors , window frames, signage etc. The roofs on a couple of them is corregated cardboard and real macaroni. I added the room on the roof of the Woodstock building
and the roof of that room is the one with real macaroni. That kinda weird isn"t it...the things you use to finish the job.
