Very nice, Alan! I only wish I had enough 1x1 tiles... C'mon Lego
Direct! I couldn't find "dedilacted" in Merriam Webster - what
does it mean, precisely? Or is it carpenter-jargon?
Inspired by the discussion of the Victorian townhouse, I stayed up
half last night and produced the basement for that 2+1 storey house
I built. I also refinished the 1st floor - especially the kitchen -
which was sadly lacking before.
Probably the most fun was building the garage door - since I don't
have any of the old town garage doors, I scratch built one which
works rather nicely - there's 3 pics of it opening on brickshelf.
The garage is 7 studs wide, and tall enough to pass a slightly
rebuilt Adventurers - style car. The basement also includes a
furnace / water heater, a bicycle, tool bench (with vise), garbage
can, and a back door.
I redid the kitchen (1st floor) with a square-tile floor (sadly,
not *tiles*, but plates), smaller table, and cabinetry in red
with grey tops. There's now a stove, a few cupboards, and a sink.
The male minifig is me, (I'm burning dinner), and the female one
is my wife Susan (watching TV).
I also added top-down views of the basement and first two floors
to show details which might have been missing before.
Please check out the images on brickshelf:

and let me know if you have any questions.
Oh - has anyone seen a repository of furniture / appliance ideas,
or should we start one? It might be nice to have some good ideas
about how to easily manufacture quantities of furniture for our
towering skyscrapers, Manhattan penthouses, and gothic cathedrals...

| Wow, this is a lot of excellent house in a tricky package! But I especially fawn over the fixtures! The Rich/Elliott bathroom measuring 6x6 has it all: toilet, shower, sink, window, door. Wow!
