Ahh, too bad you didn't roll with the idea then, then it'd be all ready for
me now ;) I had thought of compiling pictures from Lego instructions, but
that big ole problem of Time hits. Maybe one day I'll be able to! Between
40 hours of work (well, I never QUITE get in 40 hours, but that's ok) and 9
hours of school (plus more hours of homework) a week, and at LEAST 60 hours
of sleep a week, there just isn't much time left :)

Yes, there are some nice Chair/Table sets there, I will have to give those a
try sometime, but not for the tavern!

I totally agree there. Sometimes I won't care for a big ole MOC at all, but
then I'll see one really cool Desk in it, or some shelves or something, and
say "Hey, thats neat!" Of course then I promptly forget the design, or if I
DO remember it at all, I forget where I saw it! :(
I suppose this will be one of those things I shouldn't touch until such a
time as... well, there's time to tackle it!
And yes, baseplate.com sure is an intricate site, nice idea for a tub there too.
plucky (sorry, just used to signing everything OUTSIDE of work this way,
been that way for years, do it on message boards for the online game I play,
etc etc)
