The town was not built the same way as ours, I can tell because the front of the northeast house is the same depth as the front of Elm's Lab.
Also, we do critique ourselves, I've put NewBarkTown back onto the to-do list after our conversation about the roof colors and other details.
The need for Johto builders is not large enough to justify accepting this level of building at this time. I am declining this application. I do appreciate your help and contributions, but not as an independent builder.
