[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Iron]

There are building codes for everything, and you don't get much choice about following them. The only way around it is to have a house on wheels. Most are reasonable things that any builder should be doing anyway - don't cross your utilities, make sure all wood exposed to the elements has been treated, don't make tiny little rooms that twist through a fourth spatial dimension full of witches. But there are thousands of these codes and it's really hard for a layman to meet them without hours of research.

Hmm.....never knew that, so I guess I haven't been curious enough about my family's job before. On the subject of houses on wheels, I've always been interested in RV living, but that seems awfully expensive and awkward to live in compared to even a small apartment. 

What about secret compartments that hold secret treasure, or traps that hold gremlins that play hell with anyone's reception? Those seem like things one would include in a remote fortress in the wilderness....

Well, I hope you can hire a plumber that has reasonable rates, mate. I know technicians can cost a fortune, depending on what you are asking them to do.

The first plumber I got an estimate from is asking way too much for my tiny amount of plumbing. I'll try some more tomorrow.

I do have a few secrets hidden away in the house. There are no less than seven four-leaf clovers built into the house. There's a time capsule in the foundation. A few "secret" access panels that blend in. Oh, and today I heard there is a cave on the hill behind my house (which I do not own) containing a colony of bats!
