There's that wand again. He raised an eyebrow over his mug, a bit skeptical but curious as to how that was going to help. What, did she know some magical Force technique for woodworking? This he had to see.
"First pass tonight is reinforcing the doors and shutters--adding on extra boards cross-wise from the pre-existing stuff, plus a diagonal or two over the top of that if it still needs more." Which made everything about twice as thick and heavy as when it started, but it'd hold better and probably still open and close alright.
"Thing is, we don't have much to hold this stuff in place. I found some nails, but there's only so many of those. That means making wooden pegs," he gestured to a pile of tree nails on a nearby table, surrounded by a halo of wood chips. "Then drilling holes in the boards at the right places and hammering them in."
It'd been a hell of a job for one person to work on, especially when he only theoretically knew what he was doing. "Any part of it you want to help on would be appreciated."
