Far Lands or Bust 4,856,980 F3 Monument Build - Day 1

Far Lands or Bust 4,856,980 F3 Monument Build - Day 1 is the first video building the 4856980 Monument.
==Video Overview==
Kurt welcomes people back to the Far Lands or Bust world after a week, showing the block for the 4856980 Monument. Saying a ten-story tall building as suggested by The Girlfriend might not work, Kurt says he is considering slicing the mountain in half along the x-axis. Connecting to slicing a planet in half in Astroneer, Kurt gets to work digging. He realizes he needs to move his bed into a new Hidey Hole, then sleeps to reset his spawn. Thinking it should be three blocks wide like the width of a Hidey Hole, Kurt has to kill a Creeper. Saying there is no plan for where he is going to stop digging, Kurt suggests he could make some form of 'lens'. He makes chests to store all the dirt and stone he mines, saying that he is impressed with the progress already. The effect of walking down the carved out area at sunrise impresses Kurt. He carves out all of the dirt, and as he works on clearing out the stone runs out of iron and is forced to use a stone pickaxe. Most of the digging is done in silence, with Kurt occasionally noticing something in chat. Two hours into digging, Kurt decides he should take a break. 
Returning, Kurt admits there should maybe be another slice going perpendicular to make it like a 'giant compass'. Thinking that idea will add some pizzaz, Kurt also thinks he might allow water on the lowest levels as he thinks he'll dig to y=69. A CDC Foundation donation asks Kurt about dream deja vu. Mulling it over, Kurt explains deja vu comes from chemical reactions in the brain and is a defense mechanism. Thinking he may go all the way down to the sand now, Kurt chuckles at the size of the project. Still on the compass idea, Kurt thinks about sculpting out an arrow for the compass. Digging it out in the ground, Kurt mulls it over and decides it is ok and works on the other side of the 'arrow'. Digging a staircase downwards in order to find redstone, Kurt finally finds much-needed iron as he was down to stone tools. He finds some lapis, which surprises him, but still needs to branch mine. Hitting bedrock, Kurt has to branch mine for just a few blocks before finding redstone. He goes up to the surface to get sand that he can use to smelt glass. Kurt starts placing some glass under where he is sleeping now, calling himself an 'artist'. Kurt changes the stairs into wooden stairs, but breaking stairs takes a lengthy amount of time. He settles on replacing the floor all with planks, and that it will be flooded.
