You cannot have entire parts of the house coming out of the ground, and you could certainly not make a nice interior for such a contraption, it's either impossible or a 2month thing. Nonetheless, you could have parts of the house sealed (like piston doors) and for the paying for unlocking features part, I do not know how you plan to do it.
The contraptions available atm can't see the difference between block id's so you might as well forget that.
Though if you want, you could make sort sort of a block belt that composes all four (or three) walls and with every push of a button, would change color scheme..maybe for a rarer block type. I don't know if you understand my meaning, lmk if you don't
Assuming you want a bridge longer than four blocks, the piston tape idea is probably the easiest but may look odd if you use fence gates instead of invisible blocks.
The sand idea can be adapted to a drawbridge ala minecraftpg5 (video above). I do recommend a different sand collection mechanism if you want a very long bridge to avoid the need for the more complex piston extenders. You do, however, need to keep the timing super tight to prevent the sand from falling. I predict that as long as you are constantly updating the sand's positions with pistons, the only limitation to the length of the bridge is the 12-block limit on pistons.
If you want to squeeze as much length out of the bridge as possible, consider a piston caterpillar driven design. The only problem is that I have not seen any contraptions capable of reversing the direction of a piston caterpillar, but if you can figure that out, it could make for an awesome bridge and an important discovery in the world of redstone.
you are partially correct. You cannnot place a block under sand unless it is pushed under it.
that is why it's so hard to make a vertical wall. try timing pistons to put a block under falling sand. It won't work.
my contraption uses a cycle of glass getting pushed up along with the wall over it and then pushing a sand block in the glass block from the side to remove it. then the cycle starts over.
all your drawbridges are so short... not useful at all for a big ass bridge from one side of an island to another...
this however can do wall and bridge, depending on where and how you put it.
this clip is a sneak peak to an elaborate explanation of concept and tutorial.
okay I got a contraption that performs a few actions in a total of about 2 seconds
I want a button to start a loop. I want the ticker to send 14 pulses, each pulse must be sent as soon as the machine is ready, so 2 seconds. you press the button and the ticker makes the machine do 14 actions then stops. I thought of hooking up 14 memory cells with an and gate for each requiring the previous mem cell to have sent it's pulse. the last memcell would then make a piston cut the clock input. I can do this but Im not certain of the most efficient way of doing this with the less space possible. I could also just put a button and a series of outputs each spaced by a few repeaters for the 2 second delay between pulses but that would be very large obviously (each output would be connected to a common output. essentially the wire will turn on briefly every 2 seconds. I know I'm rambling but I want to make sure my issue is clear. anyone point me in a direction? I dont want to manually start any clocks btw that is out of the question.
thanks in advance, -laz.
I can let anyone who wants to help on my server to take a look and potentially fiddle with it yourself I wouldnt mind.

I like the fact you know exactly what you want, assured, I can say that you will love all the new builds at lazserver :smile.gif:
I would love another pair of skilled hands onboard with us, kinda tired of kids always asking me to approve their dirt houses. lol, anyways our new 1.8 map is already coming to be very nice with all the team builds and adventures I've planned, just take a look at the server. You can apply for free and we have support for virtually anything users may ask, website, maps, ranks, you name it. Me and my friend put alot of effort and time into this server and I think it makes all the difference. here's the website url : lazserver.com
Here I have a great community (about 1 year on) and we all know eachother very well, if you want to join us in all the new stuff I organise on the server you can come anytime. Take a look at our website, you might like some builds or plugins we have up.

May not be exactly what you're looking for but it's still very interesting if you are willing to try :smile.gif:
You will not find any better community or builds than here! Come take a look, you will not be disappointed. lazserver.com

also, very compact. I suggest you come to take a look and we can exchange infos. I would be interested in upgrading upon this concept.
pardon my bad quality video but I had no idea how to properly convert at the time.
