(...) I'm using a similar method for the floors of my current project (see "Idle Ramblings" in lugnet.castle for more info), except without the use of the 2-wide plates. I just stuck the tiles directly on top of the walls, and made the removable (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)
