Little Free Library Complete!

Walking it out from the shop! I gave them no quarter.. lol.

Tori just manhandles stuff. She is going to make a great boss some day.

Attaching the “Little free library” sign that they made yesterday.

Mounting it onto the post! They did it all.. I did not even help them carry it over. I was too busy taking pictures and video..smile.

Screwing it in!

Proud Accomplishment!!

Almost done with the Little free Library!

Meredith designing the sign.

Tori was the first to try the Plasma torch! The others where a little leery, but Tor just jumped right in. To be honest, I was wondering how they where going to do.. but they were Awesome!

Melinda’s turn. They actually enjoyed doing it.

Mere’s turn. tehy all got to practice before they cut.. but they hardly really needed to, the really did well right off the bat.

Rockwell’s turn!

Rockwell grinding the excess off of the nuts holding the hinges. I smithed the hinges.. I meant to have the girls do that also, but we did not get a chance.

Here it is! I think it’s Awesome in all its rough beauty!

Summer activities! Catching up, and a “Little Library”.

We started out the 4th Holiday weekend with seeing Hannah and Sterling off on an adventure to RTX, (Rooster Teeth Convention) Hannah has really been working on improving her Cosplay of Yang. (Check out the chain mail)

Oh, the day before Hannah left for RTX, she was interviewed as the “Fox 54 Kid of the week”!

The kids love Swimming over at the banks.. This picture is almost in the dark, sorry for the poor quality.

The SnoCap drive in had a car show on the 4th. Check out this crazy custom!

Had to get my picture with it..

End of one of the pool parties at the Banks.

So today I recruited the Girls and Rockwell to help Build a “Little Library” for the park out in front of the house! They really got into it! More Young Makers!

 

Gluing as Nailing. The nailgun does really help.

 

I think they were enjoying the nailgun a tad too much. That little library is built like a tank now!

 

 

 

 

 

THe only thing I did was cut the wood.. the kids put the whole thing together.. For real, it was all on them.

 

And they did a great Job too!

 

 

Painting is next!

 

It’s going to look great! The door and the roof goes on tomorrow, and then we will mount it in the park!

 

Melinda got to ride the Motorcycle for the first time this week. She is a natural.

 

I kid you not, she did not even stall it once. She asked to go to Arthur’s to ride in the woods.

 

 

Last weekend was the Pride Parade in Augusta. Wow, I was impressed with the size, and also the participants. Lots of Businesses where represented.

 

 

Big Parade! And there was a party in the park across the street afterward. Fun!
