### Drone.cottage_road() method

Creates a tree-lined avenue with cottages on both sides.

#### Parameters
numberOfCottages: The number of cottages to build in total (optional: default 6)

#### Example

At the in-game prompt you can create a cottage road by looking at a block and typing:

```javascript
/js cottage_road()
```

Alternatively you can create a new Drone object from a Player or Location object and call the cottage_road() method.

```javascript
var d = new Drone(player);
d.cottage_road();
```
