Maea
I feel it in the wind, my dear
The sun is gonna reappear
The sun is gonna reappear
For a hastily assembled construction crew, they did good work together. Perhaps because the job had been thoroughly researched and prepped before getting started, or indeed because of Nikandr's diligent checking of blueprints before they began a new step, so far they had avoided mistakes that would cost them time and energy to resolve. Liam seemed to have a real knack for carpentry too, because he got the wall frame assembled for two sides with minimal help from Maea, before she understood his processes and was able to pitch in for the rest.
The first snag arrived in the form of a branch that swung low across one corner of where the new room should be. The closer they came to that particular spot, the more obvious it became that either measurements were incorrect, or it had been missed entirely during the planning. It caused Maea no end of frustration as she began to haul up the roof rafters to stabilize the walls, and when she began to lay them out to check the distances, she realized it wasn't going to work.
"Guys... I need some help," she called, interrupting Niki's hammering and Liam's wrestling with a support beam. "This branch is in the way. Its too big to just remove without hurting the tree... What do we do?"
Round 9:
A branch is cutting diagonally across where one outer corner of the room should be! Suggest ways to either build the branch into the room OR build the room around the branch, accounting for the natural shifting during storms.

Good days are gonna come along
Hold on, hold on!
