They are just about to Wyoming when Cypress asks: "Making literally anything includes making things that - don't technically exist but physically could? Such as, I don't know, an instruction manual for a spaceship you invented?"
(The Zevs have left the main cabin again. It's a really good thing their room is soundproofed.)

"... Technically. But they're our wedding rings, and I'm concerned about the effects of making a new pair on the original pair. So, we'll have to check later."

"...I don't see how making a brand new pair of rings based on having looked at yours would affect the originals, but you're the expert on how your magic works."

"Well, the problem is that they are tied to each other, specifically. So if you make another pair, it's possible that with two copies that read as the same thing, the magic might be confused. And I am very protective of our wedding rings."

"We do. Even better, it's easier now, because I can actually get you gifts. As long as they're magic gifts. I couldn't before, because you can make literally anything."

"You could have got me ideas! Or, I don't know, nonmaterial things. Tickets to Broadway. Is Broadway still a thing?"

"It's okay. I didn't know you were particularly itching to shower me with gifts." He snugs her with his wing.

"I kind of was, yeah. I want to get you things that make you happy and are actually useful to you!"

Wyoming is just as exciting as it was when they left. The portal in a tree is still there.
"Where do you think I should put the underground secret father house?"

"Mmm, there?" suggests Cam. "Not far from the tree but not so close that if people are making noise when we come through we'll wake him?"

"Yeah," she says. "We should also actually buy this land."
And then, without further ado, she starts making her dad a house. An underground one, created by turning part of the ground to air and then transmuting supports to keep the entire thing from collapsing. She's borrowing the floorplan she used when making her own house in Heaven - it's pretty suited for a bachelor, though she has to add a kitchen that was basically absent before.
"Think you can add a generator so he gets power? I don't know how to handle plumbing, either," she admits to Cam. "I can do the pipes no problem, but I don't know how to manage infinite water."

"I don't actually have proper plumbing in my house, I just make water as needed," he muses. "I'll copy your station's circulator, and yeah, I can do a generator no problem." In he goes to accomplish that.

Adana starts adding finishing touches, turning the walls to a nice color, changing the floor to carpeting and a hardwood flooring in the dining room and kitchen. She's going to leave the technological things to Cam, but she can do the wiring herself. Electrical outlets (shaped differently than Max, Ice, and Cypress are used to) are put on the walls, along with light switches (but no light yet) and plumbing.
