The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

My siblings just said "yeah...whatever." There are five in my wife's family. My wife and her younger sister don't really care about the stuff. The older three have been fighting over crap for years.
Fortunately, they're staying in Greensboro and my wife and her sister are here in Richmond.
And gee, we've lost our guest room...

Grumble, grumble, grumble....blasted wimmin's brunch...

Too bad you don't have a MIL apartment. Our next door neighbors have a split level with a fully furnished apartment downstairs. When the Mister retired, he sold the house to his son and he and his wife moved into the apartment. It works. :)

Great pictures, 2J! I'm glad y'all had a good time! I hope their CD sells well!!

We actually bought this house with the thought that we would one day remodel the garage for both of my wife's parents. The garage faced the back of the house, so it wouldn't be obvious from the road (re-sell value, etc.)
That's not financially possible right now. Plus the county would tax the snot out of us if we had an apartment. This way she's part of the family unit, not a renter.
To: Corin Stormhands
I don't know if the neighbors pay rent or not.
To: Overtaxed
I'm not sure that matters with our county. I think it's just based on the actual structure.
To: Corin Stormhands
Gondor has no building permits....Gondor needs no building permits
To: Overtaxed
Ahh... but I'll bet the Dwarves have building permits now, after that catastrophe in Moria that came from digging where they shouldn't!

Yeah, there needed to be some regulations put in place to prevent any further "digging too greedily, and too deep".
To: JenB; HairOfTheDog
They just needed someone to mark the Balrog lines.
I think the Moria Mines were in deep doo doo with the safety regulators.
To: Overtaxed
Hmm... sounds like they need some safety inspector types around!

That's why they had that fancy set up at the Gates. They were afraid the inspectors would close them down.
To: Overtaxed
And since an inspector is no one's friend...

So the inspectors ended up being Watcher chow. Or if they managed to get inside....well....it's pretty easy to take a nasty fall in Moria.
To: Overtaxed
Well, they were repeatedly warned about the lack of handrails, even before the greedily deeply digging.
To: HairOfTheDog
I think those Dwarves had it in for those inspectors.
To: HairOfTheDog
You know, someone's going to have to talk to those Dwarves...
