#### Unexpand my house?

I just noticed this announcement in the sidebar:
"Does your house feel a little too big for you after all that building you did? You can now unexpand when in decorate mode. Cozy!"
Has anyone tried to unexpand a house? Do you get materials back, or are they lost? Now that I have an almost-complete tower, I really don't need a three-storey house... or do I?

- I've done it and yes I got a refund for the used resources. You can check it before you push the 'yes I want to' button.

- Oh, unexpand means it get's less wide by the way.

- Looks like you get back some of the resources, but not all of them- I didn't get back wall segments, but I did get some talc instead.

- I feel that I should warn everyone before trying the unexpand option. It basically works like the trash compactor from Star Wars and so I advise to have a note pole on hand to brace the walls from crushing you:)

- I've used it several times, because my house looked really far too big after I had moved almost all the SDB's into my tower. Quite nifty really.
