text: I’m so sorry I haven’t written in so long. The last 2 weeks have been a blur to me. I’ve been building and reading a lot. Almost every night, I fall asleep with a book from the villager’s library in my hands. After all those logs I collected, I decided I needed a house that wasn’t in the village. I went scouting for a place to live. While scouting, I remembered that I had found a blueprint for some log cabin earlier while ransacking the villager’s library. I pulled the blueprint out and realized that I could use it to build my house. I started reading it. First, It said that I needed to dig out a basement. So, I did exactly that. I dug out a large l-shaped hole in the ground under where my house was going to be. After that, I built the walls and fireplace. Doing that used up all of the wood I had, so I went and chopped down some more birch trees. Using the new wood I had collected, I made some stairs and placed them so I could go down to the basement and I could go up to the second floor. The blueprint called for glass which I knew could be made from sand. I went to the nearest lake and started collecting sand with my bucket. I brought it back to my under-construction house and burned some coal in my furnace to warm it up. Once it was warm enough, I put the sand in and waited till it turned into glass. I took the glass pieces as the sand turned to glass and placed them in the window slots one by one. Once I was done, I started on the second floor. I placed down wood logs to make a stable floor. I then made the walls. I had to make them different from the first floor because the roof had to lay on top of the walls. I completed that and went to work on laying down the roof. I was terrified that I was going to fall. So, I was extra careful and the roofing took two days to complete. After all that, I did some landscaping, went around the house, and added a few things to make it look nice. I then went exploring for a bit. During this exploration, I found a wood that I liked a lot more than the birch wood. I replaced the birch wood with this wood. It took around 5 days to complete that task. Once my house was completely constructed, I made myself a bedroom and placed my bed down. I also kept my furnace on the first floor next to the fireplace and kept my chests in the basement. After all this, I had run out of food and was getting hungry. I decided that I would need to make a farm. I started with making a staircase from my back door to the area where the farm would be. I finished that and moved onto clearing out the area and flattening it. I flattened both the first farm area and the second. I then dug out places for water and organized signs to show what would go where. I first placed the seeds I had found while ransacking the village. Secondly, I placed the seeds I had first found while exploring the area. Once those were all planted and watered, I went on and placed the signs next to the plants to label them and make sure I didn’t get confused. I was finished. It looked way different from before and it made me more confident in my adventures. I knew now that I had a home, a place to come back to.
