It should be noted, very VERY importantly that the mansion wood colour uses the "inner" wood colour (i.e. not the bark, but the board colour). I made a terrible mistake believing it would use the bark texture and ended up with a hideous house, don't fall victim to the same trap

You should be able to knock it down if soak stuff applies to buildings too!
Actually it should be possible to burn houses. And maybe walls?

I really like that door color. I feel like the cherry wood you used for the primary wood is also a good color. If you try again may I suggest Larch or Rowan for the secondary wood color and maybe Tar for the roof? I'll get the thatch colors up on Monday. I'm so sorry that I'm taking so long but I'm out of town. =(

By ratios. Jorb said that if you only use a couple of blocks of a wood, it'll get ignored in the calculations.

Here's one of his posts on the subject: viewtopic.php?f=40&t=41039&p=539883&hilit=ratio#p539883
