There's a little duplication from my previous Jaxonz Positioner blog entry but with this entry, I'm talking about the other project I've started in Broken Oar Grotto...

I recently started playing around with this great mod, part of Jaxonz Utlities on the Nexus.

I've had it in my load order for awhile but never really did much with it. I think I copied a bed in Severin Manor and that was pretty much it...

So I wanted to do something a little more ambitious and really put in some time with this mod. First, I came across this article...

http://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/2linsu/teamistresss_guide_to_squatting_in_skyrim/

Very useful article, with some links to areas in Tamriel and Solstheim that have safe storage, which is the first important element you need if you're thinking about doing some squatting.

The second element, apart from picking a spot that is already navmeshed, is finding a location where enemies aren't going to keep respawning and mess up your home.

That's a taller order than you think but you can probably go into the CK and tweak some cells so they don't respawn enemies. For those of us who don't feel comfortable opening up the CK, there are a few mods on the Nexus that are good compliments for playing around with Jaxonz Utilities.

This one actually takes 8 tower locations in Tamriel and changes their settings in the CK so that enemies don't respawn and storage is safe. So you can just boot out any enemies that are currently there and move in. With the Positioner, you can dress these places up any way you like.

Enemies do not respawn in this cell after you finish the quest attached to it and this mod switches the flag on all the storage in here to Safe so you have a big cell to play with and using Jaxonz Positioner, you can decorate this place any way you like. And there's lots of idle markers so you can plan your decorations around that.
