I think I, ll defer on one of these, doesn,t look like it would fit through the loft hatch. Come to think of it, the loft isn,t strengthened either!!! Its not the having and the building its the thrill of the smuggle in the front door and up into the loft, before the dearly beloved sees it! I,ve even got the kids trained up as henchmen!!!! Six months later you nonchalantly get it out of storage and when asked about how long you have had that thing, you can truthfully say you,ve had it ages!!!!! Can,t see me smuggling this one, the kids will all have hernias!!!! Hehehehehe!!!!!!!
