Alright. Let's get started then [img]smile.gif[/img]

Steven (no last name/nickname just yet. Haven't earned it )

Axe dangling in one hand, he looked at his new home. He was not displeased with it, but it did strike him as crude. The oaken walls sprouted the beginnings of branches, and he hadn't had the time to build a door yet. Windows, too, were simply gaps in the wall. Still, it would be dry inside
Standing on a hill overlooking Waterdale, the little building would probably be his home for years to come. He was glad the inside looked better, more professional.
The walls were smoother, and more or less straight. He'd cut himself a low table and used the stump of a tree to sit on. A wall seperated the main room from his bedroom.

Only then did he realise his two greatest mistakes. By building on a hill, he'd have to come down for water every day. It could likely be fixed by digging a second hole, several meters away from the lantrine, and letting the rain fill it up.
The other error was not building a chimney. In fact, he did not even have a fireplace. Steven decided he'd best get down to the village to get some help finishing his house.
In his head, he made a mental list of the things he'd need.
Heavy cloth for the door and windows, a builder to help him out with the chimney, preferably some young men to help digging the new pit. And a signpost. He could see it now. "Steven, woodsman since 0222".

(with 0222 being 02-22 or february 22nd )
