    Default Unexpected benefits of covid19 isolation.

    So, after a few weeks of being at home, it seems my two daughters (21 &16)have realised they can get out of the house and come to work with me, at the big house I’ve been building about 2 kms upriver from home. They’ve been keeping busy cleaning up and stacking up offcuts and helping with cutting sheets on the saw, it’s been quite enjoyable.

    That is great to see, I think there will be a lot more closeness in some families but in others there will be train crashes developing.

    Hopefully more of the first.

    That's making the best of the current situation.
    Great water views from your current workspace!

    We are under a 'Stay Home' advisory. I was able to sneak around to 'Total Wine' and get couple of 1.75's of my favorite whiskey. You might call it medicinal as SWMBO and I haven't killed one another.

    I love to hear stories of the children getting involved.

    PS: Looks like at least one of them is measuring up well

    Daughter in Boulder, CO has just moved into their new house a couple of weeks ago. She's been buying tools, planning to make a housing for some electronic gear.

    Is daughter measuring up,
    Or being head quality control officer, after dad has cut sheet material.[emoji6]

    Cheers Matt.
    I think a lot more kids are going to be a little more hands on from now on.
