Re: Near the bone gate
"Three hundredweight, and fragile? Wouldn't it make more sense to pack the anvil and the glassware separately?
"Any case, we're going to need a donkey cart, if not an ox cart. And the animal to pull it. That's going to cost a little. Bricks aren't light, either. Might make more sense to leave the tools where they are until we have the bricks and lumber here. Lime and sand for the mortar, right? Also not lightweight stuff.
"Two trips, minimum, with a donkey cart, probably need it for a whole day.
"Okay, then I guess we need to start with buying the masonry and lumber, and see what it will cost to get it delivered, and compare that against the rental for a cart and donkey." Mario pats his purse, which seems fatter than it was yesterday, and pulls out his list of materials and provisions once again.
"We can probably get the lead close to the bricks and sand, but let's start at the stable and see what the cart's going to cost."
