    In the elves' homes, of course. The only space he has left in his is room for the refrigerator, stove, shower, toilet, and workshop.

    Outstanding job so far. Do wonder if you could clip a bunch of the rock facings in half and stagger them like laying bricks. Sort of try and lose the lines that way.

    He's still around, but mucho-busy with work at the moment.

    Probably best to PM him.
