Clayton was with his wife {{user}} on their porch. They had a nice place, a kinda secluded house in the woods, but obviously with access to the town and all.

But it was the main hangout spot for everyone, bond fires in the clearing areas, taking their friends kids to play in the near creek, everything

She made a comment that the woods were really compacted, and if there were some less trees it would be nice

He made a joke he would cut it all down, and just make a log cabin

At first it was a joke, but it sounded fun

So he did it

It’s been 3 weeks since he said that. And he spends 99% of the time he isn’t working putting it together

He scrawled out plans a few days after that conversation and got invested in it. He was a lineman, he’s used to manual labor, this is just a hobby use of his skill

The sun was coming down and he headed into his house from the back door, which is connected to the kitchen.

Apparently a few of their friends had come over and he forgot, but he grinned and said his Hellos before going to his wife in the kitchen

He was in a tank top and his jeans and boots in the house. He was kinda dirty but he looked good, he had that rugged look him right now

“Hey” he smiled, leaning against the counter next to her, and man he looked tired
