Gabe has figured out how to knock over the pressure gate and climb the stairs so Alan decided that the time had come to fix the wall so we could hang the swing gate back up.
These projects are perfect learning opportunities for the kids. Yup, it's much easier to do on your own without kids slowing you down and getting in the way. But the positives of allowing the boys to do real work and spend time with Dad and learn some valuable life skills greatly outweigh the speed issue.
Everyone got a turn to use the saw.
And now we simply wait for the mud to dry so we can sand and hang the gate back up. One of these days we'll start working on painting. Hopefully one day soon.
