Last night I finally started and finished my house in a new/old location. On my first play through of using gargamel as my seed I found a nice location for a house. My first build there was pretty crappy but it served nicely as my base in that area. Of course my save got corrupted and just decided to start over. Almost 300 days Minecraft time passed before I started to go over in that area and re establish my base.

The new design, based on my first attempt, looks much nicer. The only problem is I used to much glass and that the view of one of the glasswalls along with the mainly glass roof was a bit bright. But I fixed it by reducing the glass. But overall I am enjoying the new storage room on the first level because it has more room

Oh and I also added a new boat elevator/exit. So now that if I am out boating or in need of just getting up I can quickly manage it. Part of my house overhangs a cliff area, which seemed like a good location for it. Always wanted to do something with it, but never got around to it the first time.

Now I just need to rebuild my minecart rails to it. Oh and now I get to look forward to gathering thousands of wood to build a neat bridge design I found on the Minecraft forum.

Good times. Looking forward to reexploring that area's cave systems. If I remember correctly there was plenty of ores to be dug up.
