The Survival Experiment

The week started off with Patchy coming alive! Yes, that scarecrow just left his tree and wandered around the lot. Of course, Sierra made friends with him right away. And, he gives all the survivors gardening tips if they ask, and they can even check his pockets for seed packets. So far, he has given them new items of tomatoes, potatoes, snowdrops, grow fruit, strawberries, and an angry magical bean. This scarecrow is such a great addition to their lot.

And Patchy even helps harvest.

With the power back on, the survivors had to decide what to keep and what to recycle from their vast inventory of repaired furniture. They definitely wanted to keep items for the community center, so it was decided that any beds that were of lower quality than what they had would be recycled. For now, they are keeping all the couches, chairs, tables, and bathroom items.

The next area that they would build would be the community center, which would be a huge undertaking. Blake had also suggested that they have a fitness area somewhere on the lot. In the meantime, the survivors continued on crafting and selling items on plopsy.

They continued to dumpster dive and repair items.

And the survivors were hit with another volcanic eruption. Wow! That was close Sierra!

They worked a long time getting the community center built, and there were still a few areas that needed some work. Here is the finished project.
