I've been fighting Real Life to cram in some Second Life time for the my current build projects so I haven't been blogging lately, but an envelope filled with pictures was on my desk when I woke up today -- pictures from sort of Sekret Spy Cam that must have been following me while I was building late last night. Well, rather than succumb to potential blackmail, I'm going to proactively publish the PG-rated shots (no, you can't see the other ones!) here thus diluting the chances of anyone trying to get my last L$47 through nefarious means. I have nothing to hide, but I think I'll wear clothes while I build from now on (safety first, girls!).

| Looking past my tushie, you'll see there is at least one reddish room inside the build. |
 |
| That appears to be a ladder over my shoulder? What kind of structure uses ladders? |
 |
| Hey! That looks like hay! Could this be some sort of barn-like structure? |
 |
| If it is a barn, why does it have a nice spiral staircase around a stone column and a nicely-glazed fancy window? |
This build is almost done anyway -- end of the month, I think -- and I'll get started on another. I've already finished a prior build and I think there is a third one on the list. I don't remember. I wish my would-be blackmailer had left a reminder.
