Thanks,
I saw your inn (I think it was yours) when I first stumbled across
Lugnet, some time before I began to contribute. I have always used bases but
this one just sat around untill I saw yours then I set it in a "to use"
pile. Some time later I saw it and since I was planning an inn built this
one. This is the great thing about the web and lego: 'Sharing' ideas. I
would have credited you but I saw so many more models on this base I began
to think it was in common use.

I was always proud of that one and will do a full building with that roof
soon.

Took me a while to assemble them, and the only to be shown up by jojo (LOL).

This building was the first of my Lugnet worthy models (depending on your
standard). I saw a blue burp on bricklink and this idea came to me.

So would I, but pieces can dictate (or the lack of).

Again lack of pieces in the roof but the canopy was intentional (those
are 2x4 slants with no fitting corner piece to my knowledge).

Alas, just about all my lego, including the waterfall pieces, is in New
Zealand (where I am moving). I used almost all of my odd assortment of
remaining pieces in my marketplace. It is made up of 8 shops (only 3 posted
but the rest coming soon). And the last of my pieces are in a nice watermill
(speaking of rivers) similar to the inn which I'll post soon.

Thanks for the detailed comments and God Bless,
