Ooohh! The hovels sound really cool. Can't wait to see how to tackle that
one. The townhouse sounds great too.

Well I am always up for building. It seems I am always building alone except
for when I get the chance to build with my 5 year old nephiew and that is more
play than building which is cool but I love the building part. So anyway I
would love to try and have some sort of "mini-build-fest". Plus I like
building trees a lot. Unfortunately it will probably have to be "mini" just
because I don't think any of us has a hugh amount of room at our homes and the
thought of trekking boxes of LEGO to a "neutral" site seems daunting.
This is why we need a NELUG Clubhouse! There I go dreaming again... But it is
a good dream and something I would love for members to at least keep in the
back of their minds so that when we get 200+ members and the potential for
enough capital to consider such an endevore that we can at least talk about it.
(Plus 200+ members is not all that far off if membership keeps up at its
current rate).

Ditto for me (although I don't have arches in quantity) but if the wall is
built out of standard gray bricks I can definitly do a section or two.
