"It's nice to meet you, Felix," Juniper said. "Thanks again for coming."
Then it was time to get down to work.
Felix did a good job on the stairs, taking out the old, broken steps and replacing them with new planks of wood. Even when it turned out that one of the replacement planks didn't quite fit, he was able to cut and sand it down to size. The new steps stood out a little bit, but with time and use, they'd come to blend in with the others.
Meanwhile, on the roof, Ianto only kept his thumbs by dropping some nails, having to pull his hand out of the way quickly in the instant it became clear that the hammer wasn't aimed quite right. But Juniper rolled at nat 20 managed to catch the falling nails on top of getting her own shingles in place, so soon the roof was without holes, even if some of the patches weren't exactly pretty.
Juniper fluttered down from the roof to check in on Felix. "All right, good job everyone." Tactfully, she didn't mention Ianto's struggles. "Now the big thing is just getting all this furniture upstairs."
Putting away her tools, she started pulling off the sheets she'd used to keep the furniture clean and dry as it waited downstairs. The main items were a bed, nightstand, washbasin, reading chair, and wardrobe. Since all the furniture was of Fae make, it was a bit smaller -- and therefore a little lighter -- than what would typically be found outside the Greatwood, but even so, the bed and wardrobe would definitely take two people to move.
"I'll start with the nightstand," Juniper said, grabbing it. The small table wasn't too heavy; she couldn't fly with it, but she ought to be able to maneuver it up the stairs. "Can you two grab the wardrobe or bed?"
We've got 5 items of furniture to move: bed, wardrobe, nightstand, washbasin, and chair. The bed and wardrobe both take 2 people each to move.
Juniper's getting the nightstand, and she's suggested that the guys start with the bed or wardrobe.
