Gathering materials and Starting the Foundation!

I'm going to let you guys take guesses as to what this is going to be as I continue to build it, but chances are you all will know exactly what it is once it's completed!


I've cleared out a large area to begin with, chances are I'm going to have to extend it, but at least we can get started!
In the backyard of what I call my 'trailer' house I decided to build a fenced in area and bring in some sheep.

The reason behind this is because I'd like to have endless supply of wool, rather then going out and trying to find it, it'll be right here.  Just like I can dye actual wool, I can dye the sheep as well!

So I grabbed some wheat and brought them back to my fenced in area.  Next I decided to multiple them by feeding them the wheat, this way I could have multiple sheep without having to go out constantly and bring back more.

Now I can sheer the sheep and collect as much wool in the color that I'd like!
Wool isn't just for making armor or beds anymore, it is mostly now used to make colored walls, or floors.  This colored wool is amazing to use when building!

So here's where we are so far, after all the gathering, I'm starting to lay down the main foundation...
This is a quick look to see where we're starting out but it's going to take a lot of work and by the time we're down, this building will be massive and including all the perks that you would normally see inside it!

So take a look and see if you can guess by this small piece what it 'will' be when it's completed!
