Minecraft Ordeal #7

Whilst doing a little mining....

I found a skeleton spawner...

So having noted down its coordinates I went to the above ground coordinates and decided to make a water trap, leading to a mob elevator to bring them up to ground level...

 I cleared the forest, and began to build...

Once it was working, I then made it a tad taller, to put the skeletons onto 1 hit kills, and made this an Arrow/Bone/XP farm, my first serious farm... But it got a little taller...

But, the view from the top is ace...
