Thanks. I went for the 'paned' window look on purpose. I thought the more
simply designed windows weren't enough for this. Glad you noticed!
Ladder 8 is one of my favorites as well. I was really pleased when I was able
to make the brackets you mention work. After building this firehouse, I learned
that it is the firehouse from the film Ghostbusters. Also, it was originally
built with two bays - almost double the size of the house it is now. When
widening one of the streets near it (I believe Canal Street), they had to chop
half of it off.

My goodness. Thank you. Not to worry, no skyscrapers for me in the near
future. I really need to improve my vehicle building skills first.

Likewise. It was very nice talking Detroit with you. Best of luck to the
Tigers in the WS.
Thanks again.
