Interesting, especially a Queenslander on stilts. You don't see those here. Glad to hear that style making a comeback. One thing that impresses me about a lot of these old homes, built back in the 1800's through the early 1900's, was the quality of material they used, both structurally and cosmetically. Great foundations, sometimes with river rock and thick lumber, built to last. Very expensive now days to build them that way. As you mentioned, those large porches (verandahs) really did give some extra protection from the elements and so nice to sit outside, especially in the evening during the warmer months. Just add some Citronella to your kerosene, light those lanterns and keep the pesky bugs away.That Pierce House is similar to what Australians would call a "Queenslander" but most of them would be single story and often on stilts so you could walk underneath. The deep verandahs provided some shelter from the sun and helped cool the house. Many of them were knocked down in the name of progress but then folk recognised their heritage value and restored those that remained. You now get a house built to that style.
Not doing much content creation but I sure have caught up on a few jobs languishing on my todo list
I've been busy music making... Here's one that's appropriate for these times:
Louis Gottschalk (1829 - 1869) Morte!! She's dead!

It's a funeral march.
Bradley, the best way to get what you want, is to do it yourself. It's not hard to do and the longer you are at it, the more your skills will improve.

Guessing Tasmania sparks no internet to anyone? I have heaps of stuff to help out.
The obvious questions to ask - Where is Tasmania? Does it actually have any trains? Is the place full of Devils from the Bugs Bunny cartoons?
