My daughter once said "I always wondered when dad would finally finish up all his projects, and then I realized they never end". It's true, projects are his hobby. He works in management, so his "down time", isn't really down time at all. He loves to build, create, dream up and create. My 8 yr. old son loves to help. Between the two of them, I never know what they are going to come up with next. I sometimes wish, he could just make a business of it, and do what he loves, but life isn't that simple... or is it??!! Anyway, this weekend, he finished up, yet another one of his projects. We had a lot of leftover wood from our shed project, and so he came up with this great idea for our Farmers Market stand. Usually I help with the design, or even come up with the plan and then he builds it. But not this time. I had no idea what he was building or how it was going to turn out. I was pleasantly surprised. It's great, and I love it! We are hoping to have a Farmers Market stand every Friday evening and this should attract some attention and hopefully get the kids some customers.
Like I said, we used all leftover wood from other projects. He built the boxes out of cedar and used metal sheets for the roof. We stained the rest of the wood, varnished the cedar boxes and used stencils to paint the sign. I am very excited to try it.

Great job! We just started selling watermelons not long ago and you wouldn't believe how fast your customer base grows. They are asking for all kids of things now. Enjoying it while it last and letting the kids learn lots. Good luck with yours!
