Busy in "shop class"

We have had a very fruitful weekend, school project wise. Our eldest is very interested in woodwork and our builder (who built our house last year) commissioned our family to build 20 signs for his company. You may have seen something similar, one sign in front of each residential building site with houses in various stages of construction. These signs are used not only to advertise, but to provide all of the trades the information on the house so they know at a glance the builder number (to ensure the work is being done on the right house), address, the owners, and if this is a spec or custom home.

This is the first ten with the remaining ten waiting for paint (which we will do today and tomorrow). It will be nice to have them finished and moved out of our garage and off of our parking pad.

Next week's class: Deck rail building followed by frost walls. Loads of fun!
