[SPOILER] I went an entire episode without being blown up or suicidal! Amazing!

Fleshing out the castle... and digging a hole. Really, my motives were (and remain) quite benign!

After getting tired of billy goating up and down that mountain, I've decided to build that suggested water ladder...

There's certain important things you need to know before you even *think* about building a water ladder. Guess who didn't know those things?

Just a little bit more work towards erecting our castle, hardening the structure by adding a few more turret shafts. That should really help stiffen things up.

It feels like a waste, anyway, but only because I'm typically short of lumber. Feels weird to be building with it. :S

Putting some finish on the ceiling/floor of Castle Dogbone, followed by sudden new things.

So far, this mine has been super effective at uncovering redstone ore.

I have so much redstone now. I could make a redstone computer, or redstone minecart track switchers, or redstone pancakes, or redstone underwear...

Doing quite well so far, found a lot of coal and redstone, and a decent amount of iron. Thinking I'm just about through with floor 1 now. :)

Ooo, bonus episode! It seems I've discovered the source of the magma and those creepy sounds...

Who would've thought that a tree farm could be so rewarding, eh?

After all this time, we're finally exploring a cave! Pretty decent one, too. :)

I think we've hit our iron goal, and I think my tree farm is actually starting to work!

Working on connecting the two bases now, but it looks like I'm gonna have to dig up some more iron to finish it.

Wow, I vastly underestimated the amount of iron I was gonna need! We're getting there, though. Sorry for the late episode... gonna try to make it up to you somehow later this week. :D

Branch mining is so awesome. It's a good thing I like it, 'cause that's all I've been doing for the past few nights. Still, I've found a lot of diamonds and iron, so I can't complain anyway. :)

Now to finish building those stations and actually RIDE THIS TRACK!
