Necessary Repairs

My camera has been telling me, occasionally, that there is some kind of lens problem. When that happens. I usually take the batteries out and put fresh batteries in. Sometimes it works. Sometimes I don't have a full set of AA's charged up.

That's why there are only two pictures in what would have been a great set.

I LOVE it when the boys go out to work together. Mind you, it's a kind of indentured servitude. Q thinks up the plans and tells M that he will pay him a Monster, or not beat on him, if he works X number of hours. Q has finally learned that while M is initially excited about the project, he soon tires of the work and of Q's perfectionist demands. At that point it gets on my nerves, because Q comes stomping in, yelling at me to tell M to...fill in the blank. I don't do it, btw.

The tree house is about 8 years old. The boys have gotten a LOT of use out of it. It makes me so so happy because I had a treehouse (not nearly as nice as theirs) when I was a kid. I lived in it. Well, I played in it a lot. M and Q literally live in theirs on occasion. They have installed bunks and fold down tables. It's quit the little hut. They are currently planning something called Hobo Fest, where they will live outside as hobos, for a week.

As I was saying the tree house is about 8 years old. It has some rot. There are places that are coming apart. It needed some repair. I was beginning to think it needed to come down. So their last big project was to make some necessary repairs (before Hobo Fest.)

This is all I got before my camera pooped out on me.
We are letting him use the power tools now.
Make note of Q's "toolbelt." It is a holder for paintball speed loaders. :)
