You just conviced a poor old man that you're some kind of E.T. that can construct a house within a second! So much better than telling him you can travel through time! ;) Nice save!

Sure, it helps facilitate the story, but if it actually happened in reality, Jen and this guy would probably not be able to communicate with each other at all. And for that matter, Time machine or not, they might never figure out exactly "when" they are, maybe not even where, although admittedly, a lot would depend upon how the time machine actually works, how the machine manages to quantify and track time. Ah, but I'm just nitpicking. Waiting with baited breath to see how the story goes...
