[oom: Bonnie tries to get plans in motion. She meets with obstacles.]

Bonnie spent most of her weekend making calls, and has now drawn up a list of which of her boys will come and help her sort out the giant junk piles in her house.

It turns out, looking at what she has, that quite a lot of it could be used to construct sheds to put some of the rest of it in. So Bonnie is currently outside the forge, welding together a lot of flat metal pieces to make larger panels.

Sam sees her working when he finds Milliways in his room after a long day in his workshop, "What are you making?"

"Shed to store my junk, out of junk." Bonnie says. "Hey Sam."

"Do you need any help?" Some of the pieces of metal look a bit awkward for one person to manage.

"That would be great, thanks." Bonnie smiles at him. "How are you doing?"

"Busy but good. Where do you need me?" His been working so his shirt is already fairly dirty.

"How are you at welding?" Bonnie asks.

"Good though I tend to use magic when I can for it."

"Oh, well that works too so long as it's welded. Maybe you can do me some corner pieces then please?"

"Of course,"

He rolls up his sleeves and heads towards the corners then calls up the Charter to connect them and strengthen the metal.

"Oh wow, that looks great, thanks." Bonnie says.

"I realised that I could use a lot of the junk I need to store in the construction." she adds. "Just hauled out as much of it that was flat as possible."

"Its going to be a good sized shed."

"It'll be more the size of a small barn when we're done." Bonnie says. "Some of my boys are comin' over to help do a sort of barn raising."

"Will you be able to get it all back from out here? I can help you carry whatever you need."

Bonnie points to a small flat trolley with wheels sitting next to the forge.

"I brought the trolley. Needed a bit of space to work in."

"So you're going to make it so the shed can fold?"

"Not when it's assembled." Bonnie says. "But I need to clear space to erect it in."

"Well, no, I mean if its going to be big then it won't be easy to get it from here to your world without a way to make it smaller. Unless you're going to only construct the pieces here."

"Only the pieces." Bonnie says. "Nothin' bigger than a door frame. I'd do it at home if I had enough space."

"I might be able to find some ways to make the pieces shift so you can make them bigger and then smaller to take back with you."

"You're very kind, I think we'll be okay though." Bonnie says. "It'll be the same weight as I brought out."

"Okay, then point me towards where you need things connected."

Bonnie shows him which of the pieces need welding at ninety degrees.

"I appreciate it, it'll save me a lot of time."

"I'm glad to help,"

He starts on the pieces she pointed at using the Charter to strengthen the metal as he attaches it together.
