Crossword #143 - A Very, Very, Very Fine House

I made this midi for my housemates toward the end of last year, after we received the (unexpected) news that we would all need to move out this spring. Despite the very narrow intended audience, though, there's really nothing overtly personal in the content of the puzzle, and, since I quite like how it turned out, I thought I would share it with all of you as well :)

Here's to a year of building community -- around puzzles and whatever else you can find.
