Fix the Boat Task

[IceQueenOG]

I need help figuring out how to fix the boat. I only have two tasks "Fix the boat" and "Eliza's shelter" to do, and am on the second day. I have found a putty knife, so I think I need to find putty?? A hint would be appreciated.
Or if I am way off could someone please tell me what I should be doing.

You can’t fix the boat yet. Have you gotten into the shed yet?

Yes I had. It seemed like some scripted events hadn't happened yet. I walked around for a bit and then was able to access dialogue with Shirley I couldn't before. Then found a note on my door that prompted me to go the boat house, and everything worked itself out. I guess I did something out of the intended order?

Did you figure out what to do at the boat house? I went there and saw the lights, but can't do anything outside of that.

I haven't found anything to do at the boat house (aside from getting squished if I move the boards inside).

I'm also stuck at this point with the two same tasks and not sure what to do. I didn't get a note yet telling me to go the boathouse though

So I literally walked around for 30 mins clicking on everything. going to talk to everyone, and called everyone (even though I already had exhausted all dialogue options) just checking to make sure I hadn't missed anything. On one of the rounds I got new dialogue with Shirley, then when I walked down stairs there was a note at my door. Not sure what I clicked on that triggered both things to happen.

When I got to the lights I went inside the boathouse, went to the right (the place where the boards fell down previously) and there should be stuff to fix the boat.

If you are in the same situation I was, with only the two tasks left, I recommend going around clicking on everything, and redoing all conversations, because maybe the game thinks you haven't completed something yet to move the story along.

Thanks! It did turn out that I needed to call Concillio I never did and then the note appeared

For me, it was clicking on the text on the ceiling of the gazebo and on the back of the hope chest in the shed. Not just looking on it. Clicking on it so Alex reads it.
