Inside or outside of El's personal cabin with a connecting partition to Taboo's cabin withere the children can run back and forth freely now that El has taken Taboo as His in a moment of caffine withdrawl
says to ALL: THe fence was done now finally, and surrounded both cabins, standing some 6' tall and constructed of local turwood. Now, I was on to the porch, while the others cut the pieces I'd need for the play area. The first bit I did was to measure and mark off everything, then to mark off with string and pegs where the new extensions would go. By the time I was done, a porch would wrap around both cabins, with a garden in between to sit in. The plan in my head, I took up a stack of boards that had already been cut to our typical foundation size. I then took a trench digging tool, and began to follow my string lines, digging out a trench, laying a board and repeating, until the pegs and string were replaced with a perimeter of turwood. I'd then pour some of wet stone and sand mix down into the trench to secure the boards, and moved off for awhile to work on some of the play area. The first bit was leveling the ground, and then pouring a stone slab to dry.. that part had been done the other day, and now, I worked to hammer a wooden walkway down to it. These boards had been well sanded and sealed, so no splinters could come abotu later. In fact, all the wood for this area had been. I moved forward, laying down board after board, whistling a song in my typical fashion.

says to ALL: I kept moving along, hammering in the boards, putting them close together to create the walkway.. and then finally reached the end of the stone slab and headed back to the porch, testing out the foundation boards, finding them pretty well set. I'd not yet work over the tops of them though, and headed back to the play area, where some of the crew were working to put the walls together. They had all been glued together with glue made from melted down tarsk hooves, and now they bound them together with thick rope. Then those would be put together, to make a total of 7 boxes. I helped tie off some of these boxes, and then set the slaves to digging deep holes for the posts that would hold them. Next, we worked together to haul each huge post into place. These "posts" were essentially small trees with the stone compound on the bottom. They'd be set into the holes with a loud THUD that echoed into the night, then they'd be packed in seccurely, more stone mix poured to keep them there.

says to ALL: Back to the porch, it was now solidified enough to start laying the top boards, and so I took some of the crew and did just that, the sounds of multiple hammers going at the same time echoing into the area. Within an ahn, the cabins would be fully surrounded with a porch made of sealed turwood planks. That done, I'd leave the crew to finish assembling the play area, and then headed to my cabin.
