Hobbit & Joel
Joel
Hey, I've been tightening the hinges on an old door lately—just a few turns of the wrench, and it's as good as new. You ever have to patch something up at home?
Hobbit
That sounds handy. I once patched a broken window with a bit of twine and some moss to keep the wind out. Nothing fancy, just a quick fix to keep the house snug.
Joel
Twine and moss? That’s creative, but I’d hit the garage for a quick sealant kit next time—no need to gamble on nature’s plumbing.
Hobbit
Sounds sensible, mate. A good sealant kit keeps the house warm and quiet—just the kind of thing that keeps the hearth happy.
Joel
Glad you’re all set. Just make sure the kit’s on a shelf where it won’t get knocked over by kids. Keeps everything tidy and easy to find.
Hobbit
Thanks, I'll tuck it up high where the little ones can't reach. Good idea.
Joel
All right, that’ll do. Keep it low and the kids stay out of trouble.
