Okay so I was wondering as I am rping as a carpenter/mason how I am going to show in reality improvements.  For example at The Eights.  Logically, I think first thing I would do as a real person would be to shore up any gaps in the fencing and would go around collecting and harvesting the lumber out of buildings to create at minimum secure wooden fencing if I could not do some welding on the fence.  I would board up the lower apartment windows as I see some has already been done.  Here is the question, over time, and I understand the admins and owners won't want to change things quickly or allow for over-the-top changes, but how do we show change.  I hate to be into the rp a long ways and nothing looks different and people just think that my character and the people that live at the eights are just stupid.  Say I am three weeks into an rp and people are still showing up saying you need to fix that fences. lol  I KNOW; I KNOW; I AM TRYING...lol  Well that would be my concern.  Anyway if someone in admin could kind of let me know how that will work would be great, sure would help out my rp.
