Have been working along on this one. Have most of it done except the basement and I'm not really sure what I'm going to do down there. I added a bay window and sleeping porch to the second floor, as well as an aquarium. I liked the way it came out and was going to make it into a symbol before I realized that the aquarium is on 9 sheets, each with different effects! So if I need another somewhere else I'll have to build it from scratch again. Also, have an attic and roof level.
Now I'm trying to build a wine cellar in the basement but haven't quite cracked it yet. The biggest problem is getting symbols of wine bottles from the correct angle. Also playing with making a pipe organ but need to work on the curved shapes and shadows of the pipes....
Some years ago my relatives and I were talking about, if you won the lotto what would you do ?, I just pointed at the television set. The Addams Family, B&W as a rerun, was on. They told me, only up to a point, but no nails in beds.

Some people have no sense of adventure. ;-)
I know, right ? Oh, and no swordfish with a leg sticking out of its mouth. I do want to get a remotely movable statue that looks like a bear. And put a chair under it. It can occasionaly ask the person sitting in the chair, if they are reading a book, to please turn the page. :-)
This part if fully fictionalized, Quenten. There's no attic in my house, oddly enough for its age and size. There is a peak, of course, but it has been sealed up, so I have no idea if there is anything up there or not!
A pipe organ in the wine cellar? I might have misunderstood, but I think the vibrations generated by the organ would probably sour the wine! But if you insist....

Good one Sue. I used to play this for my music degree in Organ performing - I was the Church organist in my Dad's Church (Anglican). And I don't know that the organ noise WOULD sour the wine, so go right ahead, Scott. Bring on the Gothic horror
No, Sue, I wanted to put a pipe organ on the upper floors somewhere, not the basement! I didn't actually make that clear, though.
Actually, Quenten, Sue is partially correct. The vibrations made by some like a pipe organ wouldn't sour wine as such, but it would stir up sediment and ultimately effect the clarity and taste making it cloudy. Champagne, on the other hand, might actually explode if subjected to strong prolonged vibrations.

This is the attic level. I've turned the second floor back deck into a conservatory room with a glass ceiling.
I meant to say, why not add an attic ? i need more sleep.

I think this may be the music?
(Bach Toccata in D Minor) :P
