No. You were on a better track with the steam punk thingy thought, :wink:

Steam Calliope?

I think a house built on a locomotive is very steam punky.

Have you ever been to the Burning Man event, Rufus?

This whatzit is the Neverwas Haul vehicle.
Image
The Neverwas Haul is home to the “Travelling Academy of UnNatural Science.” This mythical voyager’s club is helmed by Master and Commander Shannon O’Hare, a.k.a. Major Catastrophe. Originally constructed at the aptly named Shipyard Studio in Berkeley, California, the Neverwas Haul debuted in 2006 and has since become a staple on the Burning Man scene.

Measuring 24 feet long by 12 feet wide, the Neverwas Haul is built directly onto a fifth-wheel travel trailer, making it relatively easy to tow from its home in the San Francisco Bay Area out to Black Rock City, Nevada, and back. Once out on the desert lake bed, which locals call the “playa,” the Neverwas Haul roams freely, a steampunk masterpiece brought to life with a diesel engine and a wooden ship’s wheel.

That is an interesting answer, Murph. The confessionals I went into just had a curtain in the door frame for us. The priest had a door.
Here is one at the Imperial Cathedral of Speyer with doors for everyone.

With ice flowers on nondormant plants the capillary force drawing water upward is primarily from transpiraton in the leaves. It might be growing on the stem and leaves of a plant in your garden.
