| Dante was walking down a street looking about the yards as he held a piece of paper that had a house number on it that he was supposed to go to for work, stopping at a yard he looked at it and walked over to the fence and lifted a piece of wood up that was the house number “seems I found the house, but this place looks like a ghost house... does anyone even live here anymore?” he said not paying attention to his surroundings to notice that the home owner was standing beside him. The owner poked him with his cane and laughed “I'm right here sonny and yeah that's my house, I'm afraid its gotten outta my hands due to my age so I can't maintain the house and appearance of it anymore.” he said, his voice seemed happy and he didn't seem to mind at all in the slightest bit.
Dante looked about the house and sighed a bit “seems I got my day set out for me, but did you really have to request how many missions to fix up this place?” Dante asked looking to the old man, he nodded and smiled “if you can do it all for me I'd be greatly appreciative.” the man said as he handed Dante a three scroll list of chores to finish off and complete. Dante ran first for the grass cutters, it was a old appearance to it with six small blades on a wheel in an angle that seemed to pick and cut the grass effectively. Dante mowed the grass for what seemed to be like five minutes but was really fifteen minutes instead.
After Dante finished mowing the lawn he looked over at the fence and looked over at the pile of wood that was covered, he nodded after noticing the different heights to notice that there was tools and nails for the fence there. He grabbed a bag and a rake and started to rake up all the cut grass blades and put them all into the bag before he grabbed another bag and went to work on the gardens that really needed work. Dante had to pretty much pull everything and throw them into the garbage bags, that took a while of his time, but after he was done he grabbed a small looking hoe and started to grind up the ground so it could breath and be more easy for plants to grow there. After he grabbed some seeds and planted them and grabbed some water and in a can watered down the water bed so that the water got in and softened the ground as well as gave the seeds the water they needed.
After all that Dante grinned and stood up before he walked over to the fence and pulled it all down piece by piece and finally got to the fence posts that stuck up from the ground. Dante pulled them up after digging around them and sighed from all the work before he stuck in the fresh and new fence posts. Cementing them into place before he realized this man was right, t was at least a three job price from all the work that was enquired.
Dante Returned the next day to make sure the posts we're all in properly and everything, he nodded in approval before he grabbed a hammer and some brackets and nails and started putting the fence frame all into place. After the frame was all there he started to put up the boards and put them all into their places and hammered the nails in. After Dante was finished doing all the fence he smiled as he grabbed a paint brush and walked over and shook the pain before he popped the lid open and stirred up the pain before he started painting the fence a classic white, Dante smiled as he started off on the first one making sure he got all over the fence and all to make sure it was a job well done.
After all that was done Dante put the empty paint bucket into a garbage bag before he grabbed a paint chipper and chipped away the pain on the house all four sides. After he was done all of that he picked up all the pieces of the pain that had fallen to the ground and sighed, his arms felt heavy and sore by this time but hey, he couldn't stop there. Dante walked over and grabbed the paintbrush and paint cans and got to work. After all that he nodded and smiled “Whew, now that that's all completed I can rest easy now that I'm finished.” he said turning around to see the old man fit as a fiddle and smiling at Dante “you do have the patience and calm mindedness I thought to did, you will go far young man, you will go far.” he said before he waved to Dante, “Good-bye young man.” he added to the wave and walked back inside.
Dante looked at him and sighed, “that was weird...” he said but looked at all his work and smiled “its a good job well done.” he said as he turned to leave finishing all the work. 880/750 = 130/5 =26 Tp | |
