If this is blasphemy, then burn me at the stake......
.... because I've done this a lot with the 1x4x3 windows. I reverse them too,
but in an inside corner, the notches are in the way .... so off they come.
About 10% of my 1x4x3 windows are of this "missing notch" variety. By reversing
the windows, the look is much cleaner without the shutter notches. And Bram,
you probably have a lot of those green shutters left over (by far the most
common shutter color from all those basic & bucket sets). Too bad we can't melt
them down for green bricks!
Ya know what the rarest of the window frame colors is (for those 1x4x3 windows)?
Probably black. Not too many made in that color. And I'm sure that the lattice
type frames (which come in several colors) have some rare colors as well.
