"What screens?" Made of what? Huh? Why did this kids liked Orsino so much to want to build complicated things? Bet they wouldn't move their little finger for poor old Cosgrach.
Well, Cosgrach was going to stop them before they went ahead and built a castle for that idiot.

"Some those in the other group are doing that and dropping it here for us to use, but I think we can help carry some ourselves, since we can't really start until we have those," Cris replied to her other question. Ooooh...
"Why don't you let the wood plankers do the carrying? That's what we were divided into three groups." He smiled at Cris and Sophie - he understood their enthusiasm (NOT! He HOPED they were doing it for points and not for that stupid cry baby), but the wood plankers were also working, see? Quote:

so if they were going to go with that idea of the pergola then screen sides weren't needed… so he scratched it off on his drawing.. "Professor, another quick question does he like his privacy? because if he does we can add a privacy wall made out of a light material that still lets the light in but gives him that feeling that he's alone?" He had totally helped his father build a lot of things back at his house so he was very knowledgeable about building things. Y'know, he normally would have appreciated Bay's brains, but right now it annoyed him because it was working for ORSINO, THE person Cosgrach purely hated.
"But we don't have those materials," he said to Bay in a completely neutral tone. "So no roof. Trust me, guys!" He smiled and clapped his hands twice to pep them up. "I know him." They could even check the dates and stuff if they wished? They truly were in the same year. Only... theyhatedeachotherokay?
"But he has his hut if he wants privacy." And no, he wasn't conjuring ANYTHING for that... person, so this new tech material was out of question as well.

She hadn't noticed a base being built. "Maybe you haven't realised," he told the group, "but there are only two types of planks: 1-metre and half a metre. The beams are also half a metre high." Because...

The dirt could wash away, and the stones were easily moved, so she thought they should stick to the beams.
"...but we weren't provided with any mosquito netting," she said. She turned and gestured toward the materials the professor provided. "Do you think we were meant to stick to what's here?" She didn't know how to conjure mosquito nets. She looked toward Culloden for some kind of response.
Then there was another design, a wraparound porch design, shown to the group. "I think it looks awesome, but we should really find one design and stick to it. It's probably going to take us a while to get this thing built, and we've got three possibilities for designs," she said. "Maybe we should just stick with the one already approved by Culloden?" That way they could go ahead and get started.
"Either way, we need a base for our porch, so I'll start working on it," she said. She turned toward the planks that were laid out before they decided on a base and began to shift them around, so they could know be part of the base. She laughed at herself carrying those big planks. It was like she was carrying straws or something. "So how are we supposed to piece these together?" she asked. Charms or actual nails and hammers? Quote:

That was something he could do without taking his potion, as it didn't require any strength at all. "I'd appreciate it if we did this the muggle-way, yeah? Nails and hammers and stuff?" He had a BAG of those. "So no conjuring new material either. Sticking with Bay's plan, no roof and railings, and no tryin'tah cut the beams. Half a metre is good height for the base." Yeah? Yeah.
And this also answered Toby's situation. Hammers and nails. Good luck.
OOC: So yes, the builders should stick to only building, because that's the main idea of dividing into groups. You don't have to wait for the plankers to post, you can just act there is enough planks. 
I'll try to post again in the evening, but I think you know 90% of how and what to build? :3 You're amazing! Text Cut: Second group Quote:

Grinning, he placed both of his hands on his hips and greeted the builders. "Ahoy, me Hearties!" And with his greeting, he bowed and let the planks fall before him. And more planks came for the builders, see? He smiled at Ethan. He liked that Slytherin.

General OOC: I forgot to add earlier: if you have finished 3 posts/your part/want to quit IC-wise as well, you don't have to wait for everyone to finish. You can post your characters letting Cosgrach know they are done for the day and leave. |
