You need to buy the property from the note on the left side of the gate, you must have become thane in Whiterun. (Alternatively, you could use the command "coc 010WindsRestINT01" and activate the benches via the crafting bench inside)

FAQ:
Q: Where are the workbenches?

Q: Are you continuing to update?
A: I have no plans other than fixing bugs, if you want to modify/continue this mod, contact me and credit myself and the authors below.

Q: Is there anyway to just completely build the house without having to gather materials?
A: Type tcl into the console and go into the tower right next to the work space there is a chest with everything you need... You cheater. Just kidding, your time; your fun.

Q: The mannequins are looking around.
A: I haven't had them move but they like to be twisted in place, looking around the room, the psychopaths. Just don't blink.

Q: Can you remove ______ ?
A: I will only be making additions and bug fixes usually, anything in the original version will most likely be there to stay unless it is totally broken.
