My deck needs repair.  I really need a crew to come do it cos I can't get motivated to.

Now you have me wondering how the characters would react if dropped into each other's (totally different) worlds.  

Depending on whether your deck planks are nailed down or screwed down, grab a pry bar and an electric drill with a screwdriver bit and start pulling up a section. Take Jake and the PTFCo Crew out with you and put them to work.

Of course, I don't know what your options are for acquiring supplies out there on da island. Do you have to mill your own lumber on site from mighty oaks you hew down with an axe? Maybe start by measuring and counting your deck planks, then look up lumber prices, and delivery prices if necessary. After getting a rough idea of price, you may likely decide the deck is plenty fine to last another season or two... or five... or more.

Also... it's a lot easier to construct a new deck than to repair an old one. I have several sections of deck that need to have at least some (probably most) of the planks replaced and some serious scraping, sanding, and refinishing work done.

As for your novels, sounds like fun. Mess with your characters some, see how they respond!
