Either tunnel around it or bucket it up and make a fire pool/obsidian farm somewhereelbrandino said:
. Other way of disposing of it, is to fill in the lava pit with blocks of your choice and then mine them up XD.
OT: My first "house" was also of the boring sort - small rectangular dent into the hill near my spawn point, which developed tunnels as I couldn't see out and I'm not sure if beds existed in my first foray into the world.
Second savefile went the same way - but the underground house was bigger to start with, then grew a stone house attached to it and really long tunnels around it.
Tunnels went further out than I thought and I made a massive pit, what I thought was nowhere near my base, but did clip the side of the tunnel system lol. (Amazingly I managed to come right down on the side of it, without going in it).
Man, I should really finish off my MineMap project to showcase my world off to the world lol.
I found coal open on a mountainside, mined it out and boarded up the little crevice that I'd made with cobblestone, there were no windows or doors, I could only go down, so I did. I eventually surfaced and made a massive castle using the 20 or so stacks of cobblestone I'd collected, by my first shelter was that little hole in the side of a mountain.
Well my first home was a hole in the ground with a separate room for a bed and storage and door leading to a mine. However it evolved from there so that this part was only my basement with my main mine entrance, second bedroom, workshop and storage room which and had an iron door and tunnel leading to an impressive cavern that held my inter-dimensional portal. On top of that was a nice two-story home with a fantastic yard with its own waterfall, a small farm to grow cane, a jetty to launch boats and fish from, a vast deck with a modest wheat farm and of course, a sky-scraping doom tower. Added to the ground floor was another area which included a staircase to my indoor arboretum which grew trees for me to harvest wood from. It also had a staircase and tunnel down to a machine that generated stone, (I wanted it to generate obsidian, I didn't realise that was impossible.) The second descending staircase led to a long tunnel that went under the sea to an underwater lounge to which I added an ornamental lava-fall. My next step was probably turning this into the start of an underwater doom fortress.
But then it vanished. No idea where it went. I was pissed off and haven't played Minecraft since.\
I should also add that the gargantuan house was predominantly stone, not cobblestone, meaning I had to smelt each block. It was a significant task and I was rather proud of the result.

A 5 by 6 wooden box
1 block below the ground
2 torches a door and crafting table
windows where added next
then some chests
soon an underground bedroom was installed which lead directly into my first mineshaft
and a huge wooden wall was errected completely around the hut
after the wall was finished, I replaced the wooden hut with a stone one

I fell into the ocean after a creeper chased me. I swam to the nearest mountain I could find and started hollowing it out. Then I started digging up to actually get out of the mountain....that took a lot of jumps.
Eventually I expended with tunnels, looking for stone and coal so I could built a sky fortress.

If he's talking about our very first thing we lived in, then it's this.L3m0n_L1m3 said:
If he's talking about the first thing we ever put effort into and then called home, it was a tower that came out the top of a mountain. It had a glass dome on top which had trees in it and a pond.
my first minecraft home was a 3 story brick building with just enough windows to see inside, for i had not yet put in torches before i started on my next house
My first home started as a 7x7x5 box on top of a hill that quickly became a tower with a mineshaft leading to an 80x80x40 strip mine just above the bedrock.
Step 1. Enter game.
Step 2. die the first night because I didn't read the wiki or the handy dandy beginner's guide.
Step 3. Start new world after reading guide. Craft tools, collect wood and/or coal
Step 4. OHGODOHGODOHGOD IT'S GETTING DARK
Step 5. Tunnel quickly A foot or so into the side of a mountain, line space with torches, seal entrance
Step 6. Cower in terror all night because you didn't make a bed, didn't have room for a bed, and didn't want to use the bed for fear that the spider outside would somehow find its way in.
Step 7. Expand room slightly the next day to find that it led almost immediately into a large cavern...a large cavern inhabited by zombies.
Step 8. Start new world on peaceful.
And if you didn't mean first survival shelter:I made an upside-down pyramid..though I never finished it because I got lost mining and came back to the surface nowhere near my entry point

I think I pretty much built a dirt room in the side of a hill. I cant remember too clearly though to be honest. I wasn't flying completely blind either as I'd seen some of the yogscast prior to getting the game.
These days I either build a free-standing cobblestone or wood plank 5x5 room/house, or if i'm pushed for time e.g. if I had to spend a bit longer than usual gathering starting resources then I pretty much dig a corridor into the side of a mountain and hollow out a room there.
Its a shame that I dont have a more creative imagination rly as the end game of minecraft is pretty much building... but I cant even seem to design a passable house nevermind anything else.

hhhhmmm... my first minecraft house.....
i remember that I just sealed a cave, then put a door in. I don't know if that is considered as a house, but It slowly evolved into something much bigger, and better. Ah yes, i put all my love and effort into that house. But then, lava and TNT happened.

I made a wooden house by the water, it was quite big with 2 floors, eventually there became a watch tower on an island with a dock to leave the boat, the house itself got a dock attachment too.
I had heard about minecraft so had a small heads up for when I started. Didn't have any grand plans for the first run through but knew creepers would kick my sand castle if I wasn't vigilant. First spawn I furiously burrowed out a 8x8 section of a hill and made a dirt hovel with peek holes to survive the night. Spent the better part of 3 days demolishing a mountain to level off the terrain for a 10 level super fortress. Cold and lonely stone halls I tell you but I was lord of the manor.
A 3x4 hole in the side of a hill
That hill is no more. That hill is now a wide short tower. The two nearby hills? Also gone. Thin towers connected to form a T-shape.
That is why I love Minecraft. I'm still living in my first shelter, but it went from dirt hole to a medium-sized fort.
Almost everything I build "grows" naturally out of its surroundings. Whenever I don't do that, I end up with some ugly boring cube with nothing in it...
