A Cabin in the Forest Part 4 (Well,Well)

(Reminder to self) Never, ever leave a circular saw and lumber around Saoirse and Andara. When I arrived on the job site this A.M., there was an old fashion rope and bucket"Well" sitting on the front porch.



The girls seemed to take great pride in the fact that they had built and painted the well themselves. They said that if I had not informed them about nail heads,(See: A Cabin in the Forest Part 2), they might not have been able to complete it, as they ran out of nails for one of the sides. They had however discovered that if they threw the remaining nails in the air, some of them "magically" came down with the heads on the right end, and thus they were able to complete the well. Being woods raised Pixies, they had no trouble verifying that there was water under the house, but wanted Mr. Thorne to pinpoint the best location to actually dig the shaft.





Please bear in mind that this "well" structure was built by Saoirse and Andara. I offered to rebuild it in a more professional manner. The Pixies said that "it fit in with the rustic feel of the house and was just fine the way it was". I may have to put a big sign on it saying "Not Built By Pixielated Builders", just to protect my reputation in the construction industry.



Mr. Thorne arrived just after lunch, and set to work, devining the best location for the well.


He is a very knowledgable Pixie, and soon had "devined" the best location. After the shaft was dug, he helped me place the well over it.


The carpet I had ordered for the loft bedrooms arrived later that afternoon, and I am planning on installing it tommorrow morning.
