thanks for the tips and complements. its funny you mention the open flame on the side of the wooden building, as i was puting the flame in i thought to myself this isnt a good idea, this could potentially go up in flames, but i guess i forgot to go back and change it.
thank you, this wasn't my orginal idea though. the whole building used to be twice as big and blue and white. i ended up tearing it completely apart, aside from the fire place and rebuilding it.
