I was thinking 21019 eiffel tower, it’s only 35 and can be picked up at the Lego Store only minutes away. We could do it any time, just thought it might be a fun LUG activity.

That’s one of the best parts about this hobby, you can go big or small and do still great things. If you’re into customizing/building up set check out 31026 Bike Shop & Café, I think this set has potential. The rural lakeside town sound pretty neat, look forward to seeing some pics.
