I would make two additions, if I may?<BR/>From "Murder in the Gun Room" by Piper, the aforesaid gun room, 2nd floor, up a circular staircase from the library. Wall to wall pistols, workbench and gun books. <BR/> And, The Map Room from Seven Oaks estate in Steve Sterlings "Conquistador"<BR/> My personal library would be on the order of Skokloster Castle in Sweden with full floors for armoury and library. It also has a lathe room. I always wanted a lathe and a milling machine, I want to build my own guns from scratch, think Colt Trooper in .62 caliber...<BR/> The BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-53141360115413778642008-02-12T22:39:00.000-05:002008-02-12T22:39:00.000-05:00It was?!?!

A little more on the guns and a nice display of edged weapons would be mandatory. Instead of the wood stove, a wall would have to be dedicated to a great hearth, flanked by built in pipe cabinets and a nice humidor for the tobacco. <BR/>Overstuffed smoking chairs, each with a nice reading table and lamp would be arranged around the hearth. <BR/>The Damn Computers would be present, but well camouflaged as nice steampunk art pieces - present but unobtrusive.<BR/><BR/>One think missing, is a nice hidden door or a paneled pocket door opening to the Necessary room. With Coffee and Tea at hand, you must remember to recycle it efficiently!<BR/><BR/>Of course, you will be able to afford your library on you commission, and if you are shrewd enough, you should be able to get a good discount on the bulk purchases of the missing volumes.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495034446711564393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-66287317684763164902008-02-09T19:33:00.000-05:002008-02-09T19:33:00.000-05:00Oh my God!

(Though carry-out loans are only available to special friends).<BR/><BR/> Towers, belvederes, anti-clockwise circular staircases, all good. Ummm, might do one the other direction for southpaws. Me, I'm good either way but most rifles and semi-auto sidearms aren't. An' it should have a star-shaped earth-work surrounding, normally filled with kids playin' in the well-mown grass. (Pitched battle is not the usual state of affairs even here in De Heardtland).<BR/><BR/> Personal banner? Ummm... Would'ja believe a red rose inside a gear, crossed sword and rifle below, crossed lightning bolts above an' "Tipping Ecouraged" emblazoned as the motto? --Okay, I'm kiddin' about the motto, it's really "operor non subeo auctorita."* This is actually the banner for Roseholme an' based 'pon my family's coat of arms; my present dwelling, Roseholme Cottage, was moved to its current location from the intact corner of the estate after the disasterous Dimensional Displacement Accident of '92. (I don't wanna talk about <I>that.</I> Besides, you people have a nearly ...adequate... dimension here, really, aside from the politics, lack of decent airships and near-total disregard for steam-power.) ;><BR/><BR/>* "Don't let 'em boss ya around."

Rounds off the corners from the inside and, from the outside, provides an excuse for four towers with conical peaks, each flying your banner.<BR/>You HAVE designed a personal banner, haven't you? And, each tower would have vertical firing ports on each floor, providing for overlapping fields of fire.Turk Turonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02648721047835980871noreply@blogger.com
