By late Alpha, maybe early beta in Java Edition Minecraft, I had already had a few world deletions, one being due to a powercut. Certain areas regenerated chunks back in the day, meaning certain old areas were lost. One such place was where I kept spawning. Surrounded by mountains there was an above ground lava pool, which meant trees were endlessly on fire back in the day and pigs would wander about into the flames into they're death. I even set up a cemetary here originally I died do much, but alas; with a powercut and accidental deletion, these regions were lost and regenerated. I would spawn back a little further behind me here: What I found on the way back home was a long chunk wall with a 16x16 gap in the middle, which I thought would be good to make a second home. Stick a floor halfway up and cover the top and I could have a 16x16 hom,e there in the gap of the chunk: The very basics of laying a floor and closing some of the gap with up top with dirt and the rest with glass for a big skyight/glass roof came pretty easily. What resulted in the end was a pretty simple, slighty sticky out facade over the front of the gap: Inside it was just bear: Downstairs: Upstairs: It remained this way for a few year with me not really doing anything with it in the end. Not until November 2013 when I decided to expand the Halfway house into the two chunk wall sides, either side of the facade.

I wasn't sure if I knew immediatly what I would do with the left side, but by expanding into the right side it meant I could have a huge kitchen diner. I would of course have to do a lot of dogging out inside but after taking down a small mountain in beta for the pool, I was no stranger to hard work and grind. After 2013 and into 2014, the shape was still pretty flat, just replacing stone with wood and adding windows: The main work went on digging out inside making rooms but at least I had some nice over-hanging roofs by mid 2014!: You can also see that come Jul 2014 I had expanded by making the other joining chunk ewrror to the left a tunnel, specifically a minecart tunnel. By the end of 2014 however things were changing, my building style was changing. Ideas to make the front more rounded (I had probably started the round corner towers at the castle by this point!) and make further extensions - upwards! A little new bay window here: A new peak roof above it there: And above the left side a small storage extension up top too: I have memories of moving having to move the storage room so this must be why I created the storage extension. I suspected (With failing memory!0 that in that other left side extension was ehere I housed storage originally, and of course it was: Extending out the front: The outside (Minus the future neighbouring monorail) was now starting to look a lot more familar to today: Inside by the end of n014 we now had:- A kitchen diner. A large entrance way: A new living room (Formerly storage area): And upstairs storage: In 2015 I added an extenstion of the back passage that led up to the new storage, this was to accomodate a downstairs bathroom: After this, aside from the neighbouring monorail, not much changed for a few years with the Halfway House for a few year. It would not be the very last of the final changes however.
