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 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 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.
