META: Building the Deck
One last job, and then we can finally hire someone and move our reno business to the Big Apple!
Hints
Getting started
The puzzle's title and the first line of the puzzle text are critical in determining an important theme of the puzzle. Try a Google search for notable words in the first line.
Then what?
The puzzle answers have something in common; focus on this property when considering how to use the data set clued by the title and first line of the puzzle text. Disregarding the "bro ken" and "antique" ones will help you narrow down to 12.
Extraction
There must be some reason these are referred to as 2x4s. Have you encountered those dimensions elsewhere during this hunt?
This deck will start from the base of the house and intrigue prospective buyers by extending out to the seaside (but no further). We're gonna need all the two-by-fours we can get, but let's not use any of the broken or antique ones!
Once we're done, we can make sure everything in the house is in order with a thorough inspection (without wasting time inspecting the same room twice).
What will you need in order to start renovating in the city?
