The House that Jack Built

Ok, not Jack. And not a house. But the crew is hard at work constructing a storage shed/barn/chicken coop out in the side yard right now. They are making rather decent progress. The poor chickens have long ago outgrown their dog house and the storage shed was lost to the wind storms last year so Alan decided to just build one large building to house it all. It's rather important for the kids to be involved because it helps them learn necessary life skills. And let's be honest. If they are outside swinging a hammer with Dad, we know where they are and that they are not getting into trouble. If you could see the smiles on their faces right now. They know they are doing something important. Big people work. And Alan certainly is not complaining about the help. You just have to love a guy who is willing to teach a bunch of little ones how to do this sort of work and stand near them as they are swinging the hammers. Dangerous work, I tell you. Even a two-year-old can hurt you when they are swinging a hammer. Ouch.
