So while those are up for testing, I had a little play today and realized that these buildings, while I thought they looked pretty large, are actually quite dinky compared with <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr>! The <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> dock buildings are much chunkier than the PEI Shore Fishers. Nothing wrong with that, just different styles, but it did make me realize that, although I am keen to get on with the level 2 (the testing ones above) and level 3 (offshore fishers) sets, I really need a few more little buildings here and there to fill out the Level 1 set. So between turkey naps today I whipped together a couple of storage buildings, experimenting also with height above water.

The building on the left, the frame with roof, is a protein store. It will be called a shellfish raft or something. It is designed with the idea that your bannies can take the shellfish that they harvest from the small PEI shore fishers, string them up in nets (the red bits) and hang them in the water to keep them alive and fresh for when they can be eaten.
The building on the right is a dry storage, for tools, clothing, textiles etc. Just a place that means they don't have to travel a long way to pick up these sorts of things.

I am thinking of also adding a seaweed rack for vegetables, and a small wood and firewood storage for the smaller L1 set. There will also be larger barns and versions of these for the L2 set.

You might notice in comparison to that shore fisher in the last picture that I was a little bit more extreme with the overhang of the roof. I thought I would try it as in game the shore fishers look quite boxy, and I think this solves that. I might go back to them and adjust them slightly to give the roofs a bit more overhang and perhaps bring the sides in a bit.
