## Build steps

1. Plinth and floor: Lay a 23 by 13 cobblestone base with dark oak planks inside, then a one-block cobblestone plinth around the edge.
2. Frame: Raise dark oak log posts at the corners, every few blocks along the long walls and at the middle of each side, 13 blocks tall. Add log beams at the 5th and 9th levels.
3. Walls and floors: Fill the frame with dark oak planks and add spruce floors at the beam levels.
4. Windows and porch: Add 3-wide glass windows between posts on all three floors. Build a stone brick porch with two log posts and a dark oak slab roof in front of the door.
5. Stairs: In the west end, build one flight of spruce stairs north to the second floor and a second flight south to the third, cutting openings in the floors above.
6. Roof and chimney: Build an east to west gable from dark oak stairs starting above the walls and stepping in one block per layer up to a plank ridge. Run a 2 by 2 stone brick chimney up through the roof.

## Tips

- Dark oak grows from four saplings in a 2 by 2 square.
- Plan for about 30 stacks of dark oak.
