Construction Begins

The men from Cumberland finished pouring and spreading the cement and made sure it was nice and smooth. They now had to wait a few hours for it to harden so the wagon drivers were sent back and were told that they didn't need wood delivered so no need to return. Josh had several builders left at the site so he figured that would be enough to get things started. In the meantime Sally and Fawn had finished all the deliveries that Jazmen had set out for them to deliver. They saw construction was started on the candy factory so went there to check it out and show Jessica the new orders. Hi Jazmen, all finished the deliveries, said Sally. We got these new orders though. Looks like business it getting bigger every time we make a delivery. Well I suppose that is good news, said Jazmen. Go show Jessica the orders then you can take them back to the house with you, said Jazmen. Okay they both said then walked over to where Jessica and Alieta were standing. Hi Jessica, said Fawn. All finished the deliveries and here are the new orders that we got. Another two hundred boxes, said Jessica and delivery in three days again. That should be okay, we have about one hundred already made on the racks. Yep, two new stores in Fae Land and three more stores in Cumberland, said Sally. Well it is a good thing this work on the building has started, said Alieta. Looks like you are going to need it soon. Josh came over and said the cement is almost ready so best you get those two fairies back now. My men are ready to get started and want to see these fairies using magic to make wood supplies. Alieta smiled. Okay I will call Pippa and get her to pass on the message, said Alieta.

So can we sit in your hot tub for a bit? asked Fawn. Yes of coarse, said Jessica. Best you don't light the fire though. We know, said Sally. Just want to get freshen up a bit and relax. Have you got any extra bathing suits? Yes, in my bedroom there are some in the bottom drawer. Use the pink one and the purple one, said Jessica. Okay, then they both flew off with the new orders. A few minutes later Tulip showed up with Misty. So Pippa told us everything is ready to get started, said Tulip. Yes it is, said Josh. The cement foundation is finished so frame, outside walls and floor can be started. Good, said Tulip. Okay Misty you make the wood floor first then we will work together creating the building beams, walls and supports. Sounds like a good plan, said Misty. Lets have another look at those drawings, said Tulip, then we will get started. So what part of the building is this end of the foundation? asked Tulip. This is the north side and the side facing the palace grounds is the front, said Josh. The two of then studied the plans then took off and Misty covered all the cement with a nice wood floor in no time at all then they both began to build the outside walls from the bottom up. The workers were amazed at the magic and how fast they were doing things.

Once all the walls were made for the first floor the two of them started to build the beams and supports for the second floor. Josh got the men to start nailing all the outside planks for extra strength. Once Tulip and Misty had the second floor completed they began to do the outer walls of the second floor. In a little over one hour all four outer walls were completed and nailed down. Looks great so far, said Jessica. That was pretty fast. Well the fairies did the hard part for us, said Josh. Now we just have to seal all the cracks between the boards with a special glue that will make them waterproof. Tulip and Misty looked at the plans again. Okay now we can make the roof and that will finish the outside until I get Lilly to come and fix the outside walls, said Tulip. What do you mean fix them, they look great to me, said Josh. You will see, Lilly will make everything look better, said Misty. Misty and Tulip worked together and had a nice strong roof made then made a two big water tanks on it. Tulip said it is time to go inside and make the other stuff that was shown on the drawing. Josh brought the plans with him and went inside with them. Well looks like everything is moving along nicely here, said Alieta. I am heading back to the palace to see what is going on. Okay, said Jessica. Now we can't see what is going on inside anymore but I am sure there will be no problems.

So what does Lilly do? asked Josh. She is the best at designing stuff and will make windows and the other finishing touches on all the walls, said Misty. She can make the doorways and doors too. Okay so you kinda all have your own things you can do when making something this big, said Josh. No, just one of us can make the entire building but why not use the best person to do the the fine tuning plus we all like to make things so we work together, said Tulip. You fairies are one of a kind, said Josh. I am going to go get Lilly, said Misty then she flew off to the forest. Outside they saw Misty flying to the forest. Well they really seem to know what they are doing, said Jazmen. One hour and there is a huge building where there used to be nothing but grass. Well you know that fairies love sweets, said Jessica. Building a factory that makes sweets must be very special to them. Jazmen smiled. I suppose once things are all done this will be a factory and and a place to buy candies for the locals, said Jazmen. Yep and it will be a very efficient one too, said Jessica. Can you get us a few chairs to sit on please. The ones in the front yard should be good enough. Okay no problem, said Jazmen and flew off. Will she be able to manage flying with three chairs by herself? asked Daisy. Oh yes, said Jessica. Jazmen is very strong and can easily manage them. She brought down that shelving unit from upstairs all by herself. Wow, said Daisy. She looks so normal. I would never of guessed she was really strong. Yep she is definitely a person that shouldn't be messed with, said Jessica. Jazmen came back with three chairs that were stacked in one hand and three books for them to read in the other hand. You are right Jessica. She is strong, said Daisy. Yep she is my wonder woman, said Jessica with a smile. Daisy set up the chairs and they sat down and waited to see what was going to happen next.
