My son Paul has been itching to work. But he only seems to look for work when his phone card is about to run out. :D
He thought he was gonna be on the riding mower today.....WRONG!

I had a hundred board job for 1x6x6 for fencing. Sooooooo.......guess who was the off-barer?
He worked hard, loading and stacking.

Good job Paul!

That is just too funny!!! I can relate, but my boy is young enough (6) to think it is cool to help his father. I hope he will still think that in another 8-10 years, but that is probably false hope.

That is the way to do it. If you teach them they will come.

A good work ethic that young man is learning: Work = Money.

It takes a lot to get a kid to work nowadays. :

Congrats. I love to see Father/Son teamwork. My Son will soon be 45 and we still make a good team.

thecfarm · July 24, 2013, 10:04:21 PM

I miss the other part to my team. My father would of enjoyed my mill so much. We looked at a few too. I have done alot to this place. Just as I told him I would.

captain_crunch · July 25, 2013, 01:33:36 AM

problem is when you get em about broke in they discover girls

Magicman · July 25, 2013, 07:56:12 AM

"Gasoline & Perfume" was the ruination of many a good lad. Then after a few years, they come back around and you have your partner again. After a few years, you watch him "discover" the same situation, and the circle continues.

my nephew always wants to work, he is 11 and all he wants to do is weld

so every time he comes to the shop I let him loose on the scrap pile for and hour or so.

only problem is he wants $25 per hour. but gladly settles for $9
