First time in a boat. Got too comfortable.

I found a spark plug near my spawn and decided to just beach comb until I came across a boat. Finally found one, and had a blast cruising westward, never been in a boat as I usually play solo and don’t bother but this was fun as hell. Gas light was on, but I found another boat that had more gas so I swapped boats. Continued along until I found this little lighthouse on a peninsula, with a couple houses nearby. Turned out to be Skalisty, which I’d never been on before.

Looking at the map, I figured no one would be out there. Saw another dude in a boat but no bad interactions, just went our separate ways. I love playing the PVE aspect of the game, just living in the world. So I figured I had the perfect little camp, catching mackerel, warming up, filling up on water with the pump near by. Figured I’d hang for a while, get my stats up to full and take off.

While eating mackerel in one of the houses in front of a fire, out of nowhere there is a gunshot and “you are dead” pops up. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a love/hate relationship with a game before, but this game does that to a T.

I’m working on fixing up the front of our house. We have a heavy clay soil, and water would collect near the foundation on the left of the steps, so I’m trying to direct that out towards the lawn. There is about 12” of foundation exposed, and I know I should leave 4” of space before the siding. That said, how high should I go with clean fill to create a slop to the yard? We’re going to put a garden bed in the front with flowers and a couple bushes or a small tree, so putting topsoil over the fill and lining the front with bricks or edging. Any help or advice is appreciated!

(yes, I know the stoop is sloped, I have someone coming by to shim it up to level.)
