Here is a small house built after viewing David Eaton's Teeny Shack
<http://www.lugnet.com/castle/?n=1739>
I tried to build this to display the idea I had for a thatched roof using the
stickered piece from 6033 Treasure Transport. I also tried to make a window
with brown shutters using 2x4 plates and a 1x2 w/ horizontal bar. Maybe
someone else has done windows this way before.

Neat idea! Too bad I don't have enuff of that piece... (they're really handy) I
was thinking the ULTIMATE way to do this might be to use brown and tan tiles,
stacked, and lain sideways, off-center from each other, giving it that thatchy
sort of look... (unfortunately not only would this be impossible due to finding
the pieces, it'd also require glue or something I think... :( )

This looked really cool! And they're all pieces that are available in the
miniature SW sets too (Lightsaber Duel, Naboo Swamp) except for the actual
2x4's... I wonder if it's possible to hinge them from the inside... hmmm...
I'll have to play with that this weekend... (After I build the Destroyer Droid
I picked up last night!)

Yeah, I cleaned out the local Wal-Mart. They had #6033 on clearance for $2
each!

I picked one up at Target for $1.44 ... great minifigs.. I especially
like the torsos. They'll be going into my next castle.
