My house is destroyed! Can you make me one? [released]
# Background

I went on an adventure  
Grabbed resources and making deeds  
Like start to work on the materials  
To build the shelter I need

It was a marvelous one  
At least in the eyes of mine  
And when the sun sets  
I go inside

I went to sleep in comfort  
Hoping to show it to comrades  
Dreaming of dreams  
In the hours that pass

Next day I wake up  
I find myself in a pickle  
"My house is gone, oh dear!"  
Now I feel ill

I can't find a place to live  
Then there I find thou  
I have a simple request  
"Can you make me a house?"

As some time pass by  
You built such structure with potential  
When you said it's made of code  
You're who I'd call special

**Moral of story: ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯**

<sup>`I watched too much DDLC that I wrote a poem just for a challenge.`</sup>

# Challenge

Take input of a number that's $n > 2$ and use it to make a home for supposed character of the poem using the character of your choice. The building in use has a flat roof and walls. Shortest program wins!

# Test Cases (`#` for demo)

```none
Input: 3
Output:
###

# #
```
```none
Input: 5
Output:

```none
Input: 10

#        #
#        #
#        #
#        #
#        #
```

# Example program in Python 3.x

<!-- language-all: lang-python -->

<pre><code>n = int(input())
for i in range(n):
&#9;print("#", end = '')
print("")
for i in range(n - 1):
&#9;print("#", end = '')
&#9;for j in range(n - 2):
&#9;&#9;print(" ", end = '')
&#9;print("#")
</code></pre>

# Suggestions

- Any more tags before adding to the main category?
- Should I include the poem into the challenge?
- Anything still unclear, except the poem, obviously?
- What should I change?
