Hi Shiri,

When building a structure made of "stone", I like to frame window- and
door-frames in a highlight color.  Something similar to this:

I'll get pictures of my castle this weekend, so you can see how I did it.
For your Inn, Black would probably look best. :)

Hmm... I'm not sure if I have 1x4 arches in the right colors.
If I highlight, and add a color-line, I'd love to make a green one... but I
don't have any green plates OR arches, and doubt I can get any. I'll prolly go
with red, but that sorta defeats the purpose of the inn in my storyline
(neutral, unaffiliated). Making it blue would be even worse, tho' - so I'd go
with red if nothing else is available.

What about black?  That generally looks best with gray (IMO).  It would serve
to define the windows, and make them more obvious.

Most Inns would probably have a front door and a back door.  The back door
would have been off the Kitchen, so patrons wouldn't see the employees come
and go.  :)

I thought about this. Haven't decided yet, though.

In a countryside/village Inn, the backdoor might lead to a well or a stream.
They'd probably need their own water supply to serve all that food.  :)

(Maybe for shooting the storyline I can arrange something with Dave or Eric K
and put the inn in their villages.)

Are you going to have a stableyard?  Will the stable be attached to the Inn
or separate?

Not sure what you mean by stable*yard*. I'll have a small stable with three or
four stalls max.

A stableyard is an open area in front of the stable where groups of travelers
can gather after they arrive or before they leave.  It serves to keep traffic
out of the streets.  :)

Save the Whales!  I may get hungry later...

Ugh! Do you *have* to stick that in your sig? I know I joked about the
dolphins, but I can't stand seeing this in every post... (j/k ;)

Maybe I should put a smiley after it, people might think I'm serious... (I sure
hope not)  Hmmm....

Oh, and I forgot a footnote in my original message:

1 - This isn't my building.  Chris Tracey (of Wamalug) built it.
