Sounds nicer than my real-life colour scheme, which I improved upon in the Lego
version. Go for it, show us!

Yup, 8-footers. They're not bad for sound-baffling but not great. I'm a
micromanager, which means I'm not important enough to have hard walls but still
need to have meetings and teleconferences, and so need to find a private room
for that. I completely forgot to put a phone on my little desk. Wishful
thinking...

I spent quite a while building on the floor. Then I had children... Now THEY
play on the floor while I shuffle things to higher and higher shelves away from
tiny hands. Just as well though, floor-play is deadly on the back.
