Adding Those Missing Homey Touches To My Relto

Believe me -- trying to find an IKEA near Relto is just not happening. And shipping charges to other dimensional spaces, well, you just don't want to ask. But with a little graphical ingenuity my Relto is looking a bit more like home.






Still cooking on the outside fire, but at least I have hot water for a nice cup of tea. Made some improvements to the pool. Cold drinks coming soon.



Last but not least is finally getting some sort of cable hookup. I know it says Cable D'ni but it came with a manual (reads like stereo instructions ) about mounting the dish on one of the further islands with not a lot of info on how to get the wretched thing out there. However I shall prevail.

Believe it or don't, there is a Bahro contracting company. Ok strictly on the hush-hush because of tax issues, but for a suitable recompense they will fly your complex whatever to wherever and with a little bit of "help" (read massive gestural language, drawings, glyphs and stereo instructions) you can get your dish hooked up. Of course you have to pick which view you can live without since the damned thing is just as ugly in Relto as it is on the surface, but hey, I can always look off the other side of the island.

Love how you invited Eddie to your Relto.

I'd give up the dish though - I visit Relto to get away from that. If I hire the Bahro, I'd get them to decorate the tree for Christmas.

Hell getting a good connection for the computer though. Still working on getting DSL to the hut. Let me get some cold drinks in, plant some flowers in the yard, and see about that kitchenette.

Here's the cooking arrangement:



Quab is cooking in a broth made of Old Bay Seasoning (required for all seafood cooking in the state of Maryland)

You know I would love to see what the rest of you have been doing to redecorate since the Cavern closed. What's your ideal Relto -- ok, short of a split level, tudor ranch with acres of garden -- let's see what you can come up with.

I couldn't resist. Once I got going I ended up adding the above images to a Relto book in another of those "occupied" rooms that you can't get into by going through the door.

We'll see what else I get up to. Hanging the laundry or the Christmas lights? Snow? Who knows?

Well, it took a few links and only being able to use the tools left lying around, I was finally able to bring, and install, the Fry Man Safe Haven III. I had to leave the bottom half because every time I reached in to dismantle it, I linked into Sharper's Office and had to link back...I'm working on an alternate way to bring the rest of the unit with me.



I have begun working on the outer portion of 'My' island and have been able to excavate underneath to some degree. I had to put a cover on the opening, however, as I kept falling into the hole.



I guess I'll open'er up so you can see some of the headway I've made....



I've started on the entry but only had enough light to barely make it to the end where I'm working...sorry, there's nothing but a shovel and a bucket down there to show you...so I'll wait til later when I get more done.



I'll keep you all updated as I make more changes....

Hang in there....I'm sure we'll be chattin' 'round the ol' firemarbles soon!!!

Well, I have been able to continue into the tunnel and did notice a space on the the left that I may be able to break through.....



I continued a bit further only to find a strange tunnel that appears to be a Myst-like apparition.



Once I entered that area....I was immediately whisked to a portion of the tunnel that I did not even excavate...

I might be able to continue further....although I need to think of another way to get over there.....

Better go grab a maintainer suit...they are fireproof, right?

Yes!!...That 'Maintainer Suit'...I'm always thankful that my 'homies' can keep me on track to help me through...

Now I can traverse this dangerous area.....



Now I can see what may befall me down this next tunnel...

WITH my maintainer suit...I'm able to get to that area across and happen across a banner hanging on the wall....



I approach this banner and it seems vaguely familiar....It is the banner from Releeshan!!!! I brush it back to expose a window....I'm taken aback at what I see........



I have no way to access this beautiful place.....I must continue on to the end of this tunnel. Or I can go back and get some tools to break through here, at this window.....

I'm not sure you all remember that area on the left I noticed that was breakable earlier?..



..I did get through there and was pleasantly surprised that the cavern was big enough to do what I wanted.



With some help from my new-found friends, we were able to finish it off and bring furnishings to complete it.



I'm still working on the bedroom, kitchen and bath(s)....BUT...most importantly...I need to look into getting through into Releeshan...Either by the window or continuing my path down the tunnel........

btw.....I was able to bring the Fry Man Safe Haven III bottom portion and was also able to bring the first part of my water fountain for the front yard....I still need the pedestal and the pump but I'm quite sure there won't be a power issue....

I noticed the nights are getting just a bit on the chilly side, but instead of closing the shades I opted to bring the heater from Rime......It makes it a bit cozier when I'm linking in and out, especially in and out of Ahnonay.



All the utilities are working....I'm looking forward to getting through this......
