(...) I never build more than 8 deep (7 deep interior). It's tough to get to stuff otherwise. I have a simple split level with two rooms (den and bedroom) at 6x8 and a kitchen at 6x6. That's the type of house I usually go for. Jimmy (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

(...) Tobias, look at Suzanne's webpage ( (URL) ) for some hints as to how to make 2 different town houses. They work quite well, except that the staircase misteriously changes direction in one of them... :) If you want some photos of one, I can (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

How small? 14*6 studs? 20*30? And what do you have on the inside? Nothing? A bed, a table and a flower, computer etc.? A complete house with a kitchen, stairs, beds for all, bathroom and two toilets? I think I should build one-story houses, about (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

(...) I prefer to use thin walls and make the houses small. I'd rather have a neighborhood of small houses than a few big houses. All of my buildings have three walls. Maybe someday I'll have a picture scanned. Jimmy (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

I have built a few houses with interesting roofs that fit on one baseplate. Of course, no documentation to date. If want an interesting looking house, then the roof is the key! I build all walls 1x, planning on doing exterior walls 2x in the future. (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)

Tobias, Although i do not have any pictures of houses right now i can tell you some of the sizing. interior wall would be a single brick thick (asuming a typical wall). exterior could be either depending on what type of material you are looking for. (...) (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)
