The young Exiles all had places to be yesterday. E5N1 had a Saturday rehearsal for his upcoming school play, Exile #4, a leadership training event at her karate school, and Exile #3, supervising duties at her dance school Halloween party. Exile #1 and I inevitably found ourselves not out for a leisurely child-free lunch, but at the DIY store.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve had a couple of power cuts. This being Maine, outages can last a while, and so we have a generator that we can use it to power essentials like the freezer and the emergency basement pump. Anyway, the last time Exile #1 wheeled the generator out of the shed, the shed ramp decided it had had enough and gave way.
Never afraid to take on a woodworking project, Exile #1 readied his circular saw and we went to get some lumber. There was a brief flurry of activity and now we have a brand new and very spiffy ramp to the shed. So, whatever the fall and winter throw at us, we should be able to roll out the emergency power.
Very impressive,
ReplyDeleteThanks - it certainly felt like a few hours of quality adulting!
