11th july. 10am. Cerne Rise.

A few days had passed since they'd come together to fix the roof and the agouti male was pleased with the work that had gone on. He was even more happy that his family had been there to help him, to learn something new and support their home. Saul had been so scared that nobody was going to make an effort in rebuilding and restoring the building he'd chosen as base. There was still a lot of work to do however, the roof was just the most urgent of tasks to be completed. The half of the a-beam needed to fix the roof was up and the male had found some suitable sheets of plywood to attach to the roof. It had taken him a while, but after a good chase the male had managed to collect enough sheeps wool to create enough insulation in the roof. Bordering it up on the inside had been harder, but it had been done. And all that the male needed to do was start putting the tiles back up in a neat and tidy fashion. He would have to research how to do the tiling on the roof, as he hadnt done that before. But he assumed it would be like any other form of construction- practice makes perfect. It wasnt going to be a quick fix, despite all the preliminary work Saul had put into it.

For now however, his list told him that he needed to fix the door. The front door had rotted and was hanging from its hinges. They were double doors on top of that and should have lasted since the fall of humanity. But the snowstorm and the looting that had left the doors open for the wind and the rain to get deep within to warp the wood had done its job well. Today he was out scouting around for material for the doors, or if he was really lucky, he would find a complete set of double doors as a replacement. For now, he was poking around in Trenton, trying to see if there was anything worthwhile in the ruins of the town.

"Saul speaks." Saul thinks.
