LOL! Yes, I remember your rant, and good for you for stepping up and asking. How great that such a massive organization had a fun reply.
What a massive place that was. There was even an entire parking garage just for the employees if I understood what I saw.

In order to practice section planes (which i will admit to not completely understanding yet) I’m doing Artholomew’s house… he lives in a half-buried barrel where he works from home as the local engineer for the rodent village.
I want to work on it…. But my brain isn’t playing along. I can’t do the inside until I get the outside sorted. What “found objects” might make good (read interesting) window frames?

A pair of glasses cut up and hastily secured to the sides of hastily cut holes to make openable windows….
A small wagon wheel (likely a wheelbarrow wheel) set into the high end wall of the barrel to create a nice frame with a clear pot lid mounted over the outside which can be raised and lowered via this pulley for some nice airflow (air out the place after various experiment-based explosions)
And a broken lamp globe as a greenhouse… for good measure.

That mouse could definitely button up inside the barrel to escape cats, owls, and other predators.
