I know all to well about wanting to tear things down to improve them, story of my (lego)life, I look forward to seeing this, I know that making all the rooms accesable and having interiors is realy parts intensive. Great work here.
I like that idea of a round hut with palm roof, maybe build it with 1x2 and 1x1 round bricks like how the round towers are being built, makes me want to put my islanders back together
