"Well, got two houses finished up and ready for folks to move in. Got that done before we went on that little adventure." Cobb had been glad to see the houses hadn't suffered any damage while gone. He'd been a bit worried about that.

"But I'm getting to the ones that will require more work. Probably be another month or two before all of them are done." He scratched his beard as he thought about exactly what he needed to get done. "Mostly it's fixin' up floors and walls, replacing some windows. Not a lot of electrical work or plumbing. Some but not bad."

The house he stayed in needed the most work so he was picking at that one in between the others.
