Andrea comes in with an 8' foot length of Chinese Bamboo, another 8' length of Cherrywood (actually three slates glued together), a canvas bag of wedges (though you can't quite see that unless you have x-ray vision), and a small tool box. She heads straight for the back door, whistling for a waitrat to open it for her so she doesn't have to set anything down. You might think all this was a lot for such a small woman to carry, and you'd be half right, but Andrea has her ways.
Once outside, Andrea sets everything down a few feet from the back porch and spreads out a blanket she pulled out from the canvas bag. She then sets out a ball of hemp twine, the aforementioned wedges and flips open the toolbox to pull out an odd circular tool and a wooden mallet.
Picking up the bamboo, she takes the tools and heads for the porch to cut the bamboo into slates.
It becomes quickly apparent for anyone watching why she needed the porch*; a stepladder would have just been awkward. As to what she is really doing with all of this? You'll have to ask.
