Hammer Time! Oh Wait that was how you fix a military vehicle.

This was another good week of work.  School is out so I have a lot of projects I need to complete before the kids come tear everything up again.  I guess I got job security that way.I will start off with my Saturday afternoon project after spending a very long morning responding to emails.  Things…

A wish held back will always be unfulfilled

Overall sketch of the planned playground area.  The border is the extent of the area with sand.  This takes into account safety zones around high activity areas.  Due to the low activity the imaginative play area may be moved outside the sand area.  The future soccer field (small) will be to the left and the school…
