4. :banghead:
I knew I was right so I did not look it up, or I would have caught that the name was wrong.
That was fun, I should have let it ride a while, but I couldn't resist.

12. If they took as good of care of the barn as they did the house,
it might be standing still. It may not have existed in reality or in that location. Artistic license?
