The barn raising thread! So I dont know how many of you remember but the barn and a few of the surronding buildings need fixing! And Saul has gathered a few trusted peoples together to help out! I can't remember who volunteered in the thread, but I think it was something like; Adonia, Temo, Jace, Eclipse, Melee, Shiloh (Lewis) or something along those lines! Anyone is welcome to join. Its an open posting thread, so I will be posting every few days regardless of any order!
The young Stormbringer male had been busy the past few days, getting things ready for the project he'd had in his mind for a long time. The horses that stayed in the barn weren't exactly the safest they could be with the back half of the roof caved in. Plus the fact that with a lot of Ichikan's now owning horses, and housing them in the barn, space was getting a bit tight. They could probably fit only a few more horses in the remaining stalls and then they would have no space left. So it was time to fix the barn and make stalls out of whatever was left. The young Hui K'o had spent the past couple of days collecting enough wood to replace the broken planks on the roof, to get the roof at least up and running. There were other buildings at the ranch that needed fixing, but the barn was the most urgent it seemed. As he'd began to make a stock pile of wood, others had gotten curious and he'd managed to enlist the help of those around him. He was pleased to see that his sisters companion Lewis was up for helping out. He seemed like a good guy and Saul hoped that whatever was going on between the two of them was what they both wanted.
He'd woken this morning and made his usual rounds. They would have to make sure all the animals were turned out into the fields before they started to get to work on the roof. They would need to clear out all of the broken bits, get rid of the rubbish that was around and generally organise the wood that had come down when the roof had collapsed into what could be used on the roof and what could be used elsewhere. The wolves of Ichika had to be very resourceful, as with anywhere else they lived. They couldnt waste the wood and would be able to re-use it anywhere else. Of course, they would have to use some new bits of wood, especially when rebuilding the stalls for the horses. He made his way out to the barn at about ten, hoping to get a head start on clearing away the debris before everyone else turned up. He'd told them about noon and they'd been all to happy to help out.
He spent a good few minutes getting all of the horses out of the barn and into the paddocks. They seemed happy enough to roam around and eat the grass so Saul left them all to it, moving towards the damaged part of the barn. This collapse was much bigger than the roof in Cerne Rise that they'd fixed. It was practically half the barns roof. With a deep breath, he began to clear away the rubble, always sorting through what they could use and what couldnt be used on the roof, making a large pile of simple rubbish in the center. In ways he resembled some kind of tornado, rushing through the barn. In his wake was cleanliness and space instead of destruction, but his energy was on the same par. This would be how others found him, waist deep in the rubble, sorting and cleaning and thinking.
