Well, maybe you should know the guy, he used to own Bergen. He sold it as fast
as he could, though. Nothing personal, I am sure. :) The gold in the attic was
his payment for the lands he sold. There is a chest on the first floor that is
full of jewels as well, but it is closed in the pictures. The steep roof pieces
do look a bit odd. I have been experimenting with them. I used them on my
lighthouse and it turned out okay. But they aren't as good on this. I was glad
you noticed the messy interior. That was the look I was going for. I based
this on some of my friends rooms in college. Thanks for your comments!
