Interesting building but a Frenchman would only use cork to seal bottles of wine

You mean that you still need the cork, after you open one? I've never had that problem.
Nice job, on the blockhouse. Is the entryway square? It is difficult to tell, with the marking next to it.

Never seems to be an issue around my house, either, Matt!
Blokhaus, I like your blokhaus. The cork actually looks very nice in it's natural state, but do you plan to surface it with some plaster or something?

Sort of resembles Crusader castles in Mid-East.
