I think this will work:
There was only the churned water, filled with scantlings and torn branches of trees. ... It will send up the price of scantlings, and we was getting on too fast with them. About all the timber required to erect one of these houses is for joists, scantlings, and doors.

C. He is highly regarded as an author.
"everything was suddenly out of tune like a broken accordion" is a good example of figurative language. It shows the knowledge of the narrator, who must have seen or heard this broken accordion at some point in his life. They seem in shock by the fact that his family is crumbling, hence their use of the word "suddenly." It also shows quite the dramatic persona and exaggeration by saying that 'everything' was suddenly out of tune.
