Helping Dad Build

Brian and E built a daybed for the mattress on our sun porch on Saturday. You can't tell it from this video, but it turned out nice. Brian has now built several projects that I've pointed out to him in a Pottery Barn magazine including shelves, a book rack for the nursery, and closet organizers. We can now slide baskets of toys, outdoor blankets and craft supplies underneath, and still have a nice mattress for guests and Sunday afternoon naps. He bought the supplies at Lowes for $30! He would like router saw bits and could use a new cordless drill, so I'll have to keep those in mind for his birthday.

I spent the morning painting a small table we got from the free furniture pile while we were in seminary, which goes great with four little chairs I found at a garage sale. We used to use it for a side table, but now it is a great size with the small chairs. I will post before and after pictures soon.

This video is of E helping Brian by bringing him screws.
