These are great. I am going to stop trying to make half timbered houses, yours are so much better than mine. I empathise with your sorrow, as I too am going through a real bad time, but in my case it seems to have curtailed my creativety. Will be really interested to see what you come up with regarding thatched roofs. I just can't get bryce primitives to produce anything really good looking, and I can't model for toffee.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
