It was entirely finished except for the stupid little broken mechanism, which he certainly had no hope of fixing alone.

And so, Corey did the logical thing: he fixed up some very good homemade hamburgers.
Well-seasoned meat, juicy fresh tomatoes, and some skillet-fried potatoes on the side.

Carrying this, he went looking for Joe.

	Joe could currently be found in the mansion garage, poking under the hood of one of the staff cars. Probably the carburetor, but he'd have to take it apart to see... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Corey entered with the tray of burgers, set it somewhere that seemed safe, and, for good measure in the circumstances, whipped out the handwipes. "Joe, I need a favor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joe looked up and took the handwipes, cleaning off his hands. "Ask away, Corey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool. I'll go get it. Help yourself," he adds with a grin. Corey's soon back with another sack, which he removes to reveal an inoperative stone table fountain. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmmm," Joe put the burger down. "This is good, by the way." He took a careful look at the table fountain, giving it the critical eye of the practiced all purpose handyman. "Yeah, this shouldn't be too hard to fix." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you." Corey beams. "Great! If any of the rock parts get in the way, just let me know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joe carried it over to his workbench and pulled a few small tools out of one of the drawers. He poked at it for a moment. "Yeah. Need to get the pump out so I can look at the motor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey nodded, and the stone peeled away like flower petals until the pump was completely bare. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," Joe said. He carefully removed the pump and, using his tools, opened the casing up. "Yup. There's a stripped bit in here..." He opened another drawer and rummaged around in there. "Knew I had the part for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2009-12-15 12:46 am UTC (link)
	"Awesome!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cant_stop_this 2009-12-15 01:06 am UTC (link)
	Joe smiled at Corey's enthusiasm as he replaced the part carefully, checked his connections, then replaced the pump inside. "Okay, seal it back up and we'll give it a test." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey sculpted the rock back around the pump carefully. When turned on, the little fountain worked just fine. "Thanks! Think she'll like it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cant_stop_this 2009-12-16 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"Big time," Joe told him. "She'll love it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
