This seems to be bugging some people, so instead of editing a single post, I'll edit the post and I'll post the new information so it bumps the thread.
Year One
It's spring now, we've found a perfect spot for our creation. There's ample amounts of trees and a brook running through the middle. We've begun clearing mass amounts of trees, for a wall around the initial site. We may be sleeping outside for a while, but at least we'll have some protection. It's been agreed that everyone does equal work where they can, this should improve the time spent on setting everything up. Have to get back to work. Will write later.

It's still spring and we managed to finish the wall, we've begun flooring our work area, this will take a great while longer. Only seen some elk, deer and rabbits, hopefully it keeps this peaceful.
-
This flooring job is taking forever, we're running into the problem of trees growing and interrupting progress! I just turned summer not too long ago, hopefully we'll get some more help before the year is out. Food and drink isn't even the slightest of problems. With all the shrubbery around here we'll for the longest time only need to gather plants. Boss says we'll be looking at farms as our numbers start to creep up.
-
Summer brought great news! We got five more to help with our cause! This is wonderful, things have started moving a lot quicker now. Hopefully we'll finish the outline of the ship before winter comes... Should really start making some housing.
-
Autumn arrived and so did another wave of help. We have 20 working now. Our numbers are growing fast, we better get some shelter and boss says we should get to work on farms, just in case. We're about to start on the other half of the saucer. Some shelter would be nice. It's been raining so much I might as well be a prune. Some pigeons came by and antagonized us, but they left after finding nothing to steal.
-
It's winter now, snow is starting to cover the ground, we've got just a little more... make the quite a bit more, but relatively a little more... to go till the flooring is down, the we'll start with the houses and such and get everything moved underground. We got a visit from some black crows, the only stayed a little while, thank Armok though. We just finished a deal with our first caravan and have some resources, so things are going smoothly, the farms have some more time before they are needed, but at least we've got that backup. Russian, myself and the boss have all become extremely good at cutting trees, I've lost count with how many I've fell. (all 3 are legendary)
-
We've been working on our underground area, to keep us sheltered from the elements and out of the blue Kul Eturdarud decides to make a pig tail skirt. He's calling it Azinnoglesh... He's a stupid one... It's a midnight blue short skirt with get this... pig tail fiber! How useless!!! Maybe he likes tassels on his skirts... Maybe he's a whoopsie. No idea, maybe I'll keep my distance just in case until he calms down some.
Year Two
-
Spring has just rolled around. Winter was insane! There was so much snow everywhere! We went through a continuous blizzard that only got worse like four or so times. Then the boss gets the bright idea to order us to go work out in the frigid weather! What on earth was he thinking! I'm still shaking from the cold. Anyways we've begun working on the back section of the 'shadow' as we're calling it. When we finish it one of our artists is going to draw a picture of what it'd look like from up high. Hopefully we can get the back end including the nacelles and struts before summer. We're all excited to see how quickly this is going, it's amazing that they sent so much help so quick. Well... Off to work again, hope the weather is better this year.
14th Slate, 12, Mid-Spring
Just got a MASSIVE wave of extra help, we doubled our numbers! We didn't prepare for that many! Guess I know what we're working on the for the next who knows how long... We also got a hunting and a war... boar! What the heck? Oh well, just more meat or something for later. We've got to get to work on housing and such for the new comers, the nacelle work is going exceptionally slowly, the drawing boss has to work from is a bit fuzzy on the back area and isn't real easy to read.
