"I was just glad to find a place with no golems or bat guano," she replied. "And the roof looked sturdy. Deceptively, as it turns out." But yes, she was well aware it'd need more work in the spring. So long as she could make it through the Deepfrost snows, she'd be happy.
"I'll live downstairs if I need to." Might do anyhow, curled up by the hearth.
She moved on to the next hole that her "workers" were on, judging by the sound of them moving around. Measure twice, cut once. She worked as quickly as she could but wouldn't cut corners (or rather, she'd only cut them after she'd made sure she was doing it properly). "I promise all the other tasks I need help with are on the ground floor!" she called up.
They worked together to patch up all the holes she'd opened, and she called them inside (and down). She brought out fresh water and let them have as much of a break as they needed.
"The next task is a bit more laborious, so I thought we'd get it out of the way." She nodded her head to the old furniture inside. There wasn't much of it: an old sofa, two armchairs with ragged upholstery, an old, thread-bare rug, and a gnawed-up coffee table. "I need help hauling all this old stuff out and bringing the new stuff in."
She was referring to the cart outside which contained a new(er) rug, loveseat, one (slipcovered) armchair, and a desk & chair.
"This front room is going to be where I deal with customers, after all," she said. "And I think if someone tries to actually sit on any of this furniture that's been here for gods-only-know how long, they're like to fall through it."
Okay, sorry 'bout that. Round 2: furniture hauling! This stuff isn't moldy but it's old, likely to fall apart... and possibly inhabited. >_> No posting order or limit, but this one should go quicker than the last one!
