I used to draw cross-sectioned buildings all the time when I was very young, and I still love the cross section/exploded view drawings from illustrators like Steven Biesty, David Macaulay, and lesser known aviation illustrator Matthew Tesch. Late 80's and early 90's educational books from Usborne publishing were also an influence. Viewers should expect more drawings similar to this in the near future.
(Where do they sleep, you say? The rats come down at night to convert the table tennis table into a bed, earning their keep in their rodent-sized penthouse. Stairs, windows, appliances, etc. are in the unseen section of the house. )

I think this needs to start with you wearing a red beanie cap and holding a scale model.
"Let me tell you about my house.."

Mostly, because I love the descriptions that accompany many of your pictures.
Also, Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay.

Reminds me of the "House That Être Built" in my high-school French textbook. It so happens that the handful of common verbs that use "être" (to be) instead of "avoir" (to have) to construct the past tense with are easily illustrated by things you'd do in or around a house. For example, you don't say "I have gone," you say, "I am gone" (je suis parti).
I have a bunch of Biesty and Macaulay books myself! I love how they can reveal unfamiliar, mysterious aspects of even the most familiar structures. I was particularly fascinated to learn that the workings of a mechanical parking meter are at once mindblowingly complicated and ingeniously elegant, and that every modern city on the surface of the Earth has a vast, intricate system of roots below the surface that can never be seen in its entirety by human eyes.
