Steampunk House

I keep waiting for the day when there’s just nothing to post on. When i run out of Steampunky things. It isn’t like i had any real knowledge of steampunk before i thought of writing the opera and began this blog in order to learn about steampunk and i assume one day i will have posted everything on the net. But this never seems to happen.

On a day like today, when i have noting particular to write about (or more to the point, i have stuff to write about, i just feel like phoning it in) and no particular links in the idea/waiting list i keep for this blog, i just type some random stuff into google. Steampunk….. house! Let’s see if someone has built a steampunk house.

Voila. There is a couple who have steampunked their existing house.

Its traditional purpose was to hold the ship’s magnetic compass, mounted in gimbals to keep it level while the ship pitched from waves.”
