Tower Update

 This weekend I worked on my Lego tower. I started by rebuilding the tower to improve the structure's strength and reduce the number of pieces. I removed fifty to seventy-five pieces while keeping it the same height-- I think. 

I closed the gap in the large windows, added red flowers to the ivy, and figured out a way to quickly attach the top to the base (after I dropped the top and had to rebuild that). I created an island base to mount the structure on, and now I will work on a bridge going from the island to the mainland. 

These pictures were taken before I implemented the new system for mounting the top to the base. You can see it is tilted in one image.  That doesn't happen anymore. A rectangle in the bottom fits into a slot in the top.

Slow progress, but my typical building style involves several rebuilds until I am satisfied
