(10/06/14 14:01:51 ) Kanady - Sulport - [-Fields-] Is working on one of the farms scattered around the fields that surround Sulport on its West and Eastern sides. says to ALL: I had hired workers again and was going to start working on the land that was given to me. There would be a house and it would be made of the stone that even now was sitting there. It would be built within the grove of trees, the trunks of those trees would be used for the framing, not cut down and sawn, but as they stand with the foliage left on so that they would provide coverage and camouflage. There was one thing about the house that would be different, there would be no door. the windows would be high and shuttered with iron, locking shutters. It would blend perfectly with the landscape and would only be seen if you knew where to look.

The lower inside limbs would be removed but the outer limbs and the canopy would provide cover. the entrance would be known only to me and it would be built only by me. This would be another haven where I would feel safe and it would be a place that no one else would ever be allowed. It was a large grove and so the house would be large also and it would be built with many secrets inside. The stones would also form the roof and cantilevered with ribbed supports.

It would be strong and not easily breeched by intruders. The trees surrounding the stones were huge and would be put to good use. Decisions about the interior were not quite made yet, but I'm sure i would figure it out soon enough.

It was good to dig and grade all at the same time that way you didn't get it going off and have to come back and try to straighten it out. the shape of the building would be odd, but the plans were already laid out and inside would be vertical ribs of stone that would support the cornices that would hold the support stones that would bear the weight of the cantilevered roof and in turn a dome would be created. Every other row of stone that would create the dome would be fitted with stone cornices for strength. As I was digging each future step was being thought about otherwise if the foundation was not right the rest of the building would be wrong.

I didn't want signs of new excavation to be so apparent. I was also thinking of the entrance and how I would provide that. I had many ideas, but which one would work the best. I might have a meeting with the stone cutters after dark. I would have them cut out hallways inside the large stones so that then they would have to be fit together like a puzzle and it would create a maze within the walls, any predators would be lost within the maze, and it would be small and tight fitting. Made specifically for me and my petite size.

Something along the lines of a place to lure and kill. hmmm, that was a brand new thought. One way in, one way out, once you were in no one would hear you or be able to reach you. I was smiling then.

This was going to be fun and it would be a mystery to any who would happen upon it. Who knows what I would do with the rest of the land. Maybe I would plant suls.....no everybody does that, grow ta'grapes and brew the bubbly?........no, no patience for that. Maybe I would plant hedge and groom them into a very large maze that would cover the entire plot of land. It could be a place to confuse and confound our enemies and in the center would be a large stone house with no doors or windows........Perfect. Edited by 111111, Oct 7 2014, 09:55 PM.
