Chapter 18
The call resulted in Wylie’s hiring him to refinish the floor. It would probably take a couple of days, Carl warned him, “And you’ll want to find something to do outside the house. Between the dust from sanding, and the smell of the stain and varnish…well, you get the picture.” Wylie did. Carl said he could start the following morning, and hopefully finish everything but the varnishing by evening since he’d have his son Owen helping him. “Or rather, I’ll be doing the helping since this is his field of expertise.”
With that settled, Wylie spent the afternoon deciding what vegetables he wanted in his garden, and then stopping by Earlston Nursery and Garden Center to buy seeds and plants. He planned on working on the garden while Carl and his son dealt with the main room floor. When he got home, he put his purchases in the storage shed, showered and dressed, and took off for The Parish Garage for supper.
