    Hi everyone! :) I'm happy I was able to finish this week's challenge in time and I had a lot of fun with it! I kept a more traditional style to please aunt Corrie, but included modern electronics and appliances for uncle Jurie!

    I used the Beech Byway lot in Newcrest and I think it looks better there because it's a corner lot, so if possible please place it there! :)

    I am having troubles with the stairs going to the upper bedroom, they disappear when I place the build on a different lots. The best lot to put it on is Civic Cliffs (I built it on this) in Newcrest. If anyone downloads it could you please let me know if the stairs were there? I have tried everything but they keep disappearing :(
