Thank you for the reply!You're doing it wrong. First, make sure you are on v0.85.1a. If you are, have you spoken to Mary when she's standing by herself outside the front of your house on the sidewalk during the morning and/or day time period? I think by doing so, unlocks the shop. It's either there or in the kitchen during morning/day.
Also, work on other quests in your list when you find you can't progress on a certain one. You cannot complete only one character's story line at a time. They are all intertwined.
I am indeed on 0.85.1a. I do believe I have spoken to Mary out in front... isn't that when she tells the MC to fix the fence etc ? I'll double check to be sure.
Thanks again!
