Sounds very cool! We definitly need houses for the common folk. Like I said I
might try one myself but I am not sure. As far as the wall it sounds great.
(By 2 bricks thick I assume you mean 4 studs thick?).

Well if you don't have enough I still have almost all of my 2x gray bricks
available and sorted from the Rebel Base that is now disassembled. Thats over
700 Gray 2x4 bricks alone so I think we will have plenty of bricks if need be.
Maybe that is something for some sort of build fest using only my bricks
after you develop a standard wall height etc?
I also like the idea of possibly having a couple of towers in the wall possibly
on either side of a guarded entrance.

Sounds cool. Can't wait.
