the apex roof concept was shamelessly stolen from dan siskind, the "l-g-k" of
castle lego. i find it is a really cool way to avoid having to put a "tile
layer" like i did with the workroom:

I love having things open up, but I'll admit it is hard. there are all sorts of
problems that come out of nowhere easily, such as maintaining structural
integrity and also having it all still look seamless. but it's part of what i
love when building these things (the other being interior details.. so tedious
yet so rewarding)

zeus had this big headache one day, so he had hephestus (sp) give a smack to
his head with a hammer, and out sprung athena, the goddess of war and wisdom.
i think of this story and am reminded of that famous line from _Kindergarden
Cop_ : "it's not a tumor!"
