My latest shop, this one is a 3 story. The books are on the first 2 floors
while the shopkeeper and his wife live on the 3rd floor.

Thanks! This is actually my 3rd 3 story building. The first I made after
Friday night setup for MichLUG’s display at
Motor City ComiCon, you
can see it in this
picture. I built it with Peter Guenther’s bricks, so I couldn’t take it home.
But I liked it so much, I only made a few changes when I made my bookshop. The
other was made with Larry P’s bricks. I don’t have pictures of that one yet,
but I’ll post about it when I do. Neither of the first two have interiors, but
they seem to be pretty popular, so I’ll probably include them in my future
houses.

Looking at this again, I noticed several other details I missed. What is the
small box like container on the first floor for? I like it.
Do you have to be careful with the books falling out? I came up with a
technique to stop that. If you place a lego rubber band on the underside of the
top bookshelf plate, it creates enough friction to keep the books in place. You
can even tip the creation on its side.
Even though I left feedback elsewhere, this moc is great :)

That’s where he puts the wood for the stove. Keeps things nice and tidy.

The books fall out all the time. So I built little shipping racks to hold stuff
in place when I move it around. I’ll have to try the technique with the rubber
bands.

Hehe, those shipping racks are cool. Maybe I will get to take photos of my
rubber band technique sometime. Please let me know if it works for you.
Thanks.

And he doesn't want to pay too many "buiding footprint surface" property taxes.
Because this was measured on ground floor level only, it was custom to make each
additional floor overhang consideably, thus creating "tax-free" floorspace.In
some old cities you could see buidings leaning so far forward that they almost
meet with their adjacent nabours, nearly brigding the narrow streets.

Huh. That’s pretty neat. It gives me some ideas for another house.

Very nice, and quite a thing of beauty. I like the use of round bricks for the
vertical 'wood'. The overall colour scheme is also pleasing to the eye. Nice
touch for the attic.
The wife has my sympathies as she tries to navigate the ladder to the living
quarters while wearing a floor-length dress. That's gotta be difficult,
especially if there are customers on the second floor. (But, hey, space is
always at a premium in these things).
Well done!
