One quiet morning I was sitting on my couch playing games when my I heard my dad jingling his key. So I decided to get up and see what or where he was going. I walked in my dad's room and before I could ask my dad anything he asked me, “Do you want to go to home depot?” I said yes. In my head I was like what do we need at home depot? So I asked my dad what we needed at home depot he said, “We need wood for the barn.” After getting the wood we started. Then we started to measure how long we need to cut the borders. As he was measuring and cutting I watched how he measured and cut the boards and I learned how to measure a board. That's when I realized how much you can learn in a short time. After cutting, Bailie and me hopped on the burn ruff and started handing my dad the boards. When we finished we had to unload the truck with shingles. …show more content…
I learned when you put something heavy on your solders it is easier to lift. After we carried the heavy shingles and put them on the roof. Then we started handing my dad shingles and nailing them down. After the first row of shingles my dad said we need to cut the shingle so it stay in the proper pattern. I thought we messed up but we did not. When we were about one fourth of the way done my mom
The next day we placed the pile of pumpkins we bought on our picnic table outside. My dad sat down with me and lined up the carving utensils around my tiny pumpkin.
You’re probably wondering what I did. Well, where do I start? Let me begin on the day my little brain came up with this supposedly brilliant idea. It was on a summer’s afternoon and the sun was gleaming
On Fridays, I would finally work with my brother in law. We would dig up holes to place all types of trees. We would dig up holes the size of me, and I am 5’5. I really didn’t like digging holes but after putting the trees in the holes, and just looking at them and seeing how beautiful they were paid after
The day I thought my cousin how to build a deer stand was most certainly the biggest failure in the history of american construction.It was a brisk fall day in September, when I decided that I needed to take up on my promise to teach my 12 year old cousin how to build a deer stand, and since it was getting time for deer season i figured i might as well teach him.
First, we saw the weeds under the desk and wanted to get rid of them. To start a garden. My aunt came over one day and saw all the weeds under the deck she came in and told me if I knew about them I said I did.
- Always have a plan in place, but always remember that something will always come up at the last minute. You will find that certain spot within your project in which you say, 'I need this particular piece and I don't have it.' Make sure that you are working on your projects with the home improvement store in your area is open. That way you can just jump in your car and drive there to get what you need. You don't want to have to wait until the next day.
I live in Westchester County NY , which is a big challenge for me to be there and help my daughter with her work everyday . I wish I could have been there before this was happening ,it's a big concern that Montana didn't have this support while she is not at home . She only here every other weekend.

We are looking to fix the problem by hiring a person to help out while chad is at work or grandmother or any other member of his family aren't available.
As I got into the car I caught my dad smiling at his wallet, which was oddly thick for a car ride. He twisted the keys in and took off down the road. It was an odd ride, we took a freeway I have never been on,and towards a city I have never heard of, Hemet.
“Pallets!” I thought. Pallets are what makes the business, then why not learn how to make one. I wanted to surprise my dad and show him that I can help in the business without the help of an adult. Day by day I began to watch the movements of lifting and nailing. I would pretend as if I had the real thing. First, I gathered the needed material: three runners, twelve boards, nails and a hammer. I put three imaginary runners on the floor. I put about five boards at the top and hammered them. Finally, I turned it around and put in the last remaining seven boards. I felt delighted knowing I had the right steps or so I had thought. I quietly walked to the back of the warehouse. First I reached over and one by one took three runners. I tried to carry it, but it was too heavy; dragging was the only option. Looking around to see my dad wasn’t there, I went back and, two by two, I began dragging the boards to the back. It was behind about five stacks of twenty wooden pallets. As I hid there, I placed down the three runners vertically on the floor evenly spaced, creating a gap
One time I was very surprised when I found a 5$ bill lying in my yard I was so excited I squealed and yanked it up and kissed it. Now I had enough to buy that new bow I wanted. Once I was done kissing it I decided to tell my mother. My mother, red hair blowing in the wind, asked my 19 year old brother Dalton if he was missing any money, leaving out that I found it and it was 5$.
Ashley, April and I all were playing in my driveway and I was a dog so I would follow them around the driveway. It was hard for me to keep up with them since I was on all fours. So I went in the garage and got a skateboard and jump rope. This wonderful idea jumped in my head to tie the jump rope to the end of the
Once I thought the plans for my homemade wood lathe were done, construction commenced. Going from the paper world to the real world was not without complication.
It was about 6:30 pm on a weekday evening, and I had just finished eating dinner. My mom was slaving over the sink trying to clean up the mess we had made at dinner. When I approached her with that look on my face suggesting I wanted something. She knew it right away and asked what I wanted.
One day, my brother Percy and I bored so we decided to ride our dirt bikes. I rode around our yard until I met up with Percy and he said
It was on a weekend and my mom wanted me to clean my room. I didn't plan on cleaning it that day because i wanted to go play outside with my friends. She said if i don't clean my room i couldn't go play. So i was thinking of a way to get out of that situation. Then i had an idea.
