    two new challenge ideas:
    1) 10 minute build challenge, but then you get 10 minutes AFTER it’s done to fix anything you didn’t like
    2) If you place an item you can’t delete it. like the no mistakes challenge but nicer. you can’t have a room of reject items.

    This is honestly one of my new favourite houses. I downloaded it and couldn't believe it only took 20 minutes to make.
