My Shelves are done. I did them all by myself with the help of Gabriel. Let me clarify because I think he's funny. He chatted my ear off while he watched. Then I asked him to hand me the hammer and he did. A couple minutes later I asked him to hand me the drill, but it was too heavy. Then he heard Heather Link upstairs dropping off Jacob and he said, "Someone is here! You can do it by yourself daddy, you are a big guy." So I had help from Gabriel for 25 minutes. Periodically he would check in on my and give me some encouragement. It was nice.
Anyway, they are done. Finally. They are nothing special, but they took about 5 hours to do.
BTW. The design is from George Andringa. To make sure they would be stable, I climbed up top. It held firm. I will now attempt making a really nice set of Corn Hole. No one reads this blog, but if someone is out there that cares, I am going to pose a question. Follow up with your answer. If I like it, I'll go with it.
Q: What theme should Joel use to paint his corn hole set.
I have considered North Scott Lancers since inevitably I will use it at youth events.
I've considered SF Giants because I like the Giants.
I've considered Minnesota Vikings because they are awesome and the colors are bright.
I've considered trying to create and print off stencils of Gabriel and Micah on AI (Adobe Illustrator) and using them to do a family theme. NOTE: This could prove a complete fail so it's not high on my list even though it would be awesome if it turned out okay.
I've also thought about doing something real abstract.
I'm really up for any suggestion. Please don't wait for others to respond. Just let me know what you think. If no one responds, I'll be bummed.
