Tiny House Challenge
There is a movement for tiny homes that I find very appealing. We've had contests before on building on a 10x10 lot and that in itself is challenging. I was looking through the builders forum in th...

@ciane, I considered the ITF tube elevator, but was seeing a bit of a magicky/gingerbread cottage theme in my head at the beginning. Some of that held true, though not as strongly as I first envisioned it. The tube elevator seemed too futuristic. Although it could have been considered magical, I then remembered the learning curve of using it, and THAT ruled it out. I did not want a person with mobility challenges being dumped on their plum!
But, it does provide an interesting option for modifying it to accommodate a couple or a pair of roomies. Swapping out the NL elevator for the tube makes a lot more space and, importantly, allows a double bed or two singles. It then steps a little away from the challenge, but that was more for me to build than for anyone who wants to play the house. I also encourage anyone who uses it to place it on a larger lot and add landscaping. I'd love to see what happens with that and plan to do that myself at some point.
Thanks for the heads up on the bed recolor! The rooms' color scheme actually followed the bed and might have gone another way had I known about that option. Not that I feel any urge to go back and redo it. I'm quite pleased with how it came out.
@suzses - YOU GOT A TREE IN THERE! Great Odin's beard, that's amazing! And the house makes me think; maybe a whole town of Christmas houses? With eternal winter? Not for a home lot, but for building a vacation home using the NRaas Traveler mod. What a great way to celebrate Snowflake Day. And you don't have to go into build mode to put up, then take down, the seasonal decorations. Maybe do the same for a Spooky Day town. Heck, finally get some use from Midnight Hollow.
