We asked for captions for this picture way back in January. Some of the best are listed below:

Four good entries to start with from one correspondent:

"Terrible weather we've been having. Took the roof right off".

"Of course, we need a roof and a bed and a toilet, but the computer's in and you've got to get your priorities right ..."

"But we can't get inside until we fit the doors ..."

"You too ? So, we're all part of one big Sims game."
