Good for you......great to have the kids helping out.
My son's built their bedrooms with my help of course.
And we tinkered in the garage a lot.....building racers, and you name
it......
Now one is a Stanford Graduate in Engineering and the other is

My 5 year old granddaughter decided she wants gramps to build her a
birdhouse. I agreed with the condition that she helped. After I cut the
components, I pulled up a stool so she could drill holes for the perch dowel
and the bird entrance.

She wanted red so we went to the local Ace and she picked out her color and,
since grandma was along for the ride, a doll. 5 bucks for the paint, 2
bucks for the brushes and -- 16 for the doll. Next time grandma stays home.

She wanted to drive the Domino, but I think we'll wait a couple years for
that.
