Fort

We woke up with the sun and ate breakfast. "I'm going to come up with some plans for the main structure," Josh said pulling out a fresh piece of paper and a quill.

Steve stood up after finishing his breakfast and said, "I'm going to build a farm."

I called to Willford and spoke to Steve and Josh, "I'm going to build a big cobblestone wall all the way around this area. I'll add watchtowers and torches along the top." Josh started writing on his paper.

He stopped and asked me, "How high up and how long is this wall going to be?"

I thought about it for a couple seconds before answering with, "Probably five blocks high and eight stacks of sixty-four long for each side."

Steve whistled. "Ok. I got that written down," Josh said scribbling some things down on his paper. I got my resources and walked out 256 blocks with Willford to start building the wall.

The first thing I did was build a 5x5 block wide base for a watchtower directly in line with the house. I went up seven blocks and built a 6x6 platform on top of that. I placed cobblestone walls around the edge and went up three more blocks with wooden fences adding a roof on top of that. I then placed torches in symmetrical places on the tower. I added a center column with ladders up to the platform. Next I ran four stacks down both sides of the watchtower starting at the second to last block looking at it with my back to the house. I left spaces every two stacks for more watchtowers. At the end of the four stacks I put another watch tower on both sides.

I saw the sun starting to go down and decided it was time for Willford and me to head back. We walked the long trek back to the house. When we made it back, we found the beginning of a 25x25 house.

"Holy crap. You have been busy," I said walking through the door into the house.

"Sup, Brahma?" Steve said handing me some food. "How much did you get down?" He asked taking another bite.

I answered, "I finished one wall. It will probably take me three or so days to finish the wall itself." I took a bite of my food and asked, "What about you?"

"Josh laid me out some boundaries on the farm and I've got about half of it finished. Next I'm going to build a stables for animals," he answered taking a drink.

"I've been crunching the numbers and building the main building," Josh added in.

"Good. Let's get some sleep. We got another long day ahead." I said finishing my food.
