1. Yep.
Cleared, garden started, the new style water pump with large generator, and thanks to the rewards of Cranberry Island,
(massive build component stash) a nice two story house complete with Vim machine and the 2 suits of Vim Power Armor.
Settlers all in Heavy Trapper Armor, with modified miniguns from the island super mutants.
Haven't been back home yet, just busy using the island's resources. It's been a long time since I spent a lot of time
scrapping components in mass quantity. This area could really tie in with Wasteland Workshop. Creature fight arenas.
The new recipes and craft items are awesome, but I have to note which components they drain, like oil, aluminum, etc.
Dalton Farm was the first real home base, now I'm working on the National Park Visitor's Center.
2. Haven't met Massacre's Skyrim dude yet. Seen a lot of places where he could be living though.....

Nick thinks that DiMA set it up. In any event, you won't be getting inside unless you have Nick with you.
Here's what's inside, no big deal, but cool:
