Thanks, that is reassuring.
Guess I can keep the name..... !
@ Toybox: I was indeed thinking about the Paris catacombs when I designed + named it. I used the French name to make that connection clear.
I had once visited them, when I was about 16 years old, and I'll never forget that.
I always found it a rather intriguing thought.... that there is a huge city which has a whole system, almost like a maze, of underground catacombs..... I was always a fan of secret passageways, labyrynths and all that..... that's why they feature so prominently in my mansions.
And even if my catacombs-system is going much deeper down than the real Catacombes, and you only have one small house instead of a whole city above it, I thought it was an appropriate name.
And yes....maybe it was because of the French spelling that I, too, never made the connection with our Catacombs-mansion. 8-)
