Hello! This is Grandma's Gone Gaming (https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandmasGoneGamingLW)...otherwise known as Linda. 
I'm mother to six (grown) kids, grandmother to 17, and great grandmother to two. My husband David and I live with our youngest daughter, her hubby, and their six kids, on an old farm (without fields--just the buildings) that we purchased together in June 2015. I don't get to see much but the inside of the house, since I'm disabled with Rheumatoid Arthritis, but it's a great place to live.
I've been watching some of the Base Race videos while catching up on MHC videos, and I've just checked out the Base Race rules and details, and have downloaded the January world to have a look and try on my own.
I think I would like to try February or maybe March, but I am very nervous.
One question: if I don't use Batty's mod with the timer, is it permissible to use a different timer? I've been experimenting with SnapTimer, but as far as I know I can't make it show up in a video. Is that necessary. The only mod I've been using to this point (after three years of playing Minecraft) is OptiFine. It has the installer, and I haven't had to do anything with jar files or use other apps to install mods. I'm very nervous about using them. I've read through Batty's instructions for installing the mod, but that just made me more nervous...sigh. Anyway...please let me know about the timer thing. Thanks!

I hope you give it a whirl next month, it will be the anniversary of the official launch and I am sure Edd will wanting to celebrate that with us all. There's no need to be nervous, we are a friendly bunch, and Base Race is all about having fun and enjoying the challenge, rather than the times we end up with on the clock. If you have any queries about the race or the build stage I'd be happy to help, especially since Edd is away for a while. Either here or on my videos, just feel free to ask
