Yesterday was her first day and much was accomplished. She moved and re-stacked a lot of lumber, moved a bunch of bags of feed, took down some overhead bracing (don't cha just hate working with your arms over your head?), moved some materials to a storage building, and built a storage rack in the feed room. (You can see her
Raise your drill if you're having a good time! (The feed room is unheated and we had a high of 30 degrees yesterday. Hence, the hat and jacket.)
The first shelf boards were put in place before she had to leave to go put in a few hours at one of her "real" jobs.
Even if it is only one day a week, we're pickled tink to have her help.

That girl can do anything! It's so nice to have an extra pair of hands pitching in!
Susan - She is talented both creatively and with tools! She's definitely not a female who needs to be "taken care of!"
Its lovely to have some help with tasks, I am thinking of putting a list of jobs to do so when visitors ask if there is anything they can do to help I can direct them to the list to choose :-)
I'm so happy your daughter lives close enough to be the big help that she is.
I think my son moved 2000 miles away on purpose. Can't prove it, but I'm a thinking....
Dawn - Ha, I love it! You can't lose by doing that. Either the visitors will jump in and help with gusto and have a fine old time or . . . you won't see them again! ;o}
Sue - Well, ya know, there are advantages of having them both near . . . and far! ;o}
You lucky mama!
Laurie - I am, indeed! :o}
Mama Pea,
Can I borrow your Daughter? You're one lucky Mom to have such a nice Daughter. Lately when I ask our youngest (23 years of age) for help he will say sure Mom....then when you need the help he's not home :-(
Hugs,
Sandy
Sandy - Darn kids. Happens all the time! :o}
You can tell she knows what she is doing with that shelving! That is a unique and valuable skill.
Glad she can help at least one day!
gld - Just as knowing the basics of sewing and cooking would be great for guys to know, having the basic knowledge of how to use tools is a real benefit to us gals!
