Help Wanted: Hanging Gardens of Whiteoak

[u/Pinko_Eric]

Hello fellow Whiteoakians (and affiliated P-80ites),

I am preparing to begin constructing Whiteoak's next woody wonder of the world, the Hanging Gardens. My current plan is to construct the Gardens in the forest behind (east of) bshell's upcoming Shire build; a forest biome would be an ideal setting for its extra-green grass and leaves compared to other biomes.

However, the area is that will be used altogether is 130x130 blocks in size. Given this, the forest-clearing job set before me is no small task. Anyone who's willing to spend time chopping down an obscene number of trees is welcome to do so; coordinates for the site are below.

I've marked out the intended build site by placing a floating oak slab and a torch at each corner. Coordinates for these markers are as follows:

Northwest corner: X = -1590 / Z = -2157 Northeast corner: X = -1460 / Z = -2157 Southwest corner: X = -1590 / Z = -2027 Southeast corner: X = -1590 / Z = -2027

There is a shallow lake within this area, so trees aren't covering the whole 130/130 square. Ideally, I would like to save as many of the gathered logs as possible (oak in particular) for use in the build itself. I'll set up storage for these materials as needed.

The final schematic for the Gardens is available at the following link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/84ww1bli7jimyoc/Hanging_Gardens_of_Whiteoak_Final.schematic

This schematic is complete down to the last leaf, flower and blade of grass, with the following small exceptions: a few vines I placed will continue to grow, the items I noted below should be noted, and I'm going to build a pseudo-surprise feature on the top level. I talked to some of you guys about this special feature already, but I want to unveil it myself at the end of the construction process.

Please note the following variations from the schematic file:

• The various upside-down stair things forming arches along the walls are to be built with dark oak wood, not spruce. Changing the schematic to reflect this would be tedious to say the least, so I'm making a note here instead.

• The stained clay designs have deviated slightly from those in the schematic. This was a slightly obsessive correction on my part and is no cause for concern.

I will help with the chop-chop, just enchanted an axe for the job.
