 :lol: You guess right. In a way, actually the name is very descriptive.  It's the precursor to the elevator, invented by Thomas Jefferson. It doesn't carry people, but rather objects, like food or tea, from one floor to the next.

I've taken a carbelt to strap myself on my chair before looking at your pics again  ;D

There's so much to admire in this supreme creation that a whole thread wouldn't be sufficient, so I'll keep my comment to this:

Truly astonishing, wonderful. Reminds me of Pemberley in Pride and Predjudice.

It's just the ordinary palace dome, but I've cut out all the little panels leaving the frame and the struts inside.

Well I don't go out to the pub! I might spend a few hours a day working on things, then I've got a couple of days off a week so I can get more done then. Also some things just get quicker the more you do them. If this had been one of my earlier projects when I first started customising it would of taken 6 months. Now I know the best way to paint the walls, how to customise the furniture better.

What took the longest was working out the new stuff like the lighting, dumbwaiter, altering the kitchen to fit the built in range, the staircase, the roof edging and the portico. If I had to use some of these features again I'd be able to do it easier as I know how it's done.

Oh and I don't have kids! I'm the kid in my family so I can do pretty much as I want, if I want to work till 2am then no one will mind,  8}
