Need Help In Building!

[Skyrise99]

Hey guys, I'm a little bit new to H&H and need some help with building.
What I need to know is "3" things, they are...
1. How to build a boat
2. How to build a house (whenever I try to build a house it says "You can't build that there")
3. How to plant seeds (where can I find them?)

If you know the answer to any of these please post telling me the answer and what number your answering to. If you don't know or don't want to post, just don't post.

Cheers

1) Get wheelmaking (skill tree)
2) Pave the ground where you want to build (plough land, then adventure->landscaping->lay stone - you need stoneworking)
3) Get foraging and at least 8 exploration (more is better, as is raising perception). Find Wild Windsown Weed. Dry it on a drying frame.

1. You need to get the skill called Wheelmaking. I believe it's only prerequisite is Carpentry.
2. Houses are required to be built on pavement. Build a plow or (if you don't mind using a ton of stamina) use the adventuring > landscaping > plow land option to clear an area of the size of the house, then collect some stone by chipping it from a nearby rock and use adventuring > landscaping > lay stone. Then you can build your house on the paved area.
3.Once you have the foraging skill, raise your exploration level to at least 8 (everything I've read claims 8 should work but I didn't see any until 9+) and you will begin to see small plants that look like white feathers standing up straight. These are Wild Windswept Weeds (WWWs). Take them back with you and place them in a drying frame (roughly 2 day dry time) or an herbalists table (8 hour dry time) and they will become seeds which you can then plant later. I found very few however with 8/9/10 exploration. Once it hit 15 though they were showing up everywhere.

Thanks for the advise, there "2" problem with that. And I'll tell you the story to explain...

I plowed the ground more than the size of the house, put the stone ground stuff on it more than the size of the house, tried placing the house and it says "you cant build that there".
The other problem is that the plant your talking about doesn't compute in what I'm seeing, do you mind uploading a picture for an example?

Either there is an object currently sitting on one of the tiles your house wants to occupy (this includes *you*), or you have not placed the house fully on the tiled area (you cannot have any edges sitting halfway on grass).

also if you are building a timber house (the biggest one besides stone manshion) then it needs to be 7x7 i know you said you built it bigger then the house but you never know.
