Rediscovered - Episode 20 - This Used to be Such a Nice Neighborhood

It is the end of August and the leaves are turning and survival is probably assured at this point, but there is still a great deal to do before winter. Going into this episode, I have four main objectives: Reduce the size of the cellar so it actually works, fix the stairs, build a shelter over the kilns, expand the island. I have a bunch of other stuff I want to do, but I am not entirely sure I can even finish this list in a single episode.

I would also like to figure out how and why I seem to be getting so many uninvited (and unwelcome) visitors INSIDE the house lately. Something tells me that putting screens on the windows will not be nearly enough. Maybe fly paper?
