finally, i can write again. at least for the moment.
Temo pondered the doors as they laid on the grass. Then, with his pencil and measuring tape, double checked the measurements and drew straight lines along the edges that needed cutting. "I need to raise the doors up off the ground to cut, so something like firewood rounds or lumber would work." He said to Saul and then went scouting around the house and retrieved several items and set on the ground near the doors. They put one of the doors up onto the items they found
A trip to his tool bag and Temo pulled out a handsaw from his small tool collection that he packs to job sites. A quick check of the teeth for sharpness, he proceeded to start hacking away at the door. He spent some time carefully sawing keeping tabs on the saw blade, making sure it was going straight on the line and as square to the door as possible.
He was hungry, but did not let it show. He may not have done much in the way of wood crafting and doing projects other than ransacking old human buildings since he left his birth pack. He was used to not eating for a day or two, sometimes longer. Besides, he knew he could find something on the way home anyways. Occasionally, he stopped sawing to check the sharpness of the saw. Plus it gave his arm a short rest and his eyes a rest from keeping an eye on the saw line. During one of these breaks, Temo noticed Saul standing and watching with a lost look of wondering what to do. "We've been hard at work all this time, maybe you could get us some water to wash the dust out of our parched throats?" he asked, thinking it would give Saul a task.
Temo had finished the sawing and got a small plane out of his bag. After checking the blade sharpness, he proceeded to shave off more of the door, smoothing out the saw marks where he had used the saw. He also used the plane on other parts of the door to remove only a small bit of material. Temo followed the treatment of the doors by rubbing the edges of the door with a piece of river worn sandstone smoothing the wood even more.
