After Roley accidentally destroys Tulip's yurt, she decides it's time to build a new home.

Story
One day, Tulip Turner and her six machines, Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Roley, Lofty, and Skip were relaxing under the bright warm sun. Tulip was in a lawn chair sipping a glass of lemonade, Dizzy and Muck were playing tag, Scoop, Lofty, and Skip were planting some oak tree saplings, and Roley was dancing to one of his favorite bands, The Rolling Stones, which was playing on a boombox.

"Go, Roley," Roley chanted, "go, Roley!"

However, Roley wasn't watching where he was going and Tulip realized he was heading straight toward her yurt.

"Roley," Tulip shouted, "watch out!"

But it was too late. Roley crashed into the yurt, causing it to collapse to the ground. The other machines looked at the mess in horror.

"Oops," said Roley, "I'm really sorry, Tulip."

"Don't worry, Roley," said Tulip, "it was an accident. Besides, I was kinda getting tired of living in that thing anyway."

"How come," asked Lofty.

"Because," said Tulip, "the wood was starting to rot in a few places."

"That makes sense," said Roley.

"Anyways," said Tulip, "perhaps we can build a new home for me."

"Anything you have in mind," asked Skip.

"Yup," said Tulip, "A log cabin."

"Nice," said Muck, "but why a log cabin, just out of curiosity?"

"Because," said Tulip, "I used to live in one when I was younger."

"Nice," said Muck.

Tulip then wrote down a list of materials they would need.

"Alright," said Tulip, "let's do this!"

With that, after Tulip made the blueprints for the cabin, everyone got to work. Scoop dug the foundation for the cabin while Dizzy filled it with cement, Roley flattened the cement, and Skip, Lofty, and Muck went to the lumber yard to pick up the wood for the house. Tulip also went with Thomas The Tank Engine to collect some windows and a door for the house. Soon enough, they had all the materials they needed.

"Okay, team," said Tulip, "let's get this cabin built!"

With that being said, the construction portion finally began. They even called in the local electrician and plumber to help. A while later, they were almost finished.

"Man," said Tulip, "it's looking great. But we're not done yet. We just need to put in the furniture then we're done.

Just then, they heard Thomas' whistle.

"Say no more," said Thomas as he arrived with a flatbed. On the flatbed was brand new furniture for the cabin.

"Thanks, Thomas," said Tulip, "you saved me a whole lot of trouble from going to Raymour & Flanigan!"

"No problem," said Thomas, "Mr. Devlin paid for all this, so it's him you should thank, not me."

"Okay," said Tulip, "but still, thanks for delivering it!"

Some workmen unloaded the furniture and helped move it into the house. Once that was done, they and Thomas left.

"Well, guys," said Tulip, "it's finished."

"But," said Skip, "what about the yurt?"

"Well," said Tulip, "we could recycle the wood by making a bonfire with it."

"And I could take the material used to make the outside of the yurt and the electronics to the recycling center," said Skip.

"Yeah," said Tulip, "then we could donate the furniture to a thrift shop."

"Yeah," said Skip, "if you want, I can go right now."

"That'd be great," said Tulip.

With that, Skip, after Lofty loaded everything up in his skip, went to the recycling center, then the local thrift shop. When he returned, he saw that the others were having a housewarming party with food catered by Totally 60's, games, and live entertainment by Teddy & The Sunrise Band, which was led by Tulip's boyfriend, Ted Kincaid, who was also the lead guitarist for the band.

"Well, guys," said Tulip, "this is it. This is home."

"And it's brilliant," said Dizzy.
