Kid nothing, I'd like to have one now. Overlooking an apple orchard, preferably. With bigger windows. And with no glass. I'd only need it in late fall ;)

Nice! I have heard of these, apperantly there great for Artist.

However.. not so sure your using that name "Oubliette" correctly...
everything I find about it doesent nessasarly define a place I would want to put my wife...

"An oubliette (from the French oubliettes - plural noun, literally "forgotten places") was a form of dungeon (http://"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon") which was accessible only from a hatch in a high ceiling."

"To exit an oubliette was nearly impossible without outside help. The word comes from the same root as the French (http://"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language") oublier, "to forget," as it was used for those prisoners the captors wished to forget. Most prisoners were left to die of starvation."

"a dungeon with an opening only at the top"

"Oubliette - (noun, french) a little place of forgetting. A small, windowless room where someone is locked away, forgotten, left to go mad. "

Well... then again, there was that one day last month....:punchballs:

Looks like a great place to rebuild a transmission. Mount a hoist right over the trap door.
