Carpentry


Logan wants to be a carpenter when he grows up. But he isn't waiting until he's grown up to learn about hammers, nails, saws and wood. This Spring he gave himself the assignment of building a structure in which to store his tools. First he sketched the proposed building on scrap paper. Dad and Aaron looked over the plans and gave advice and mini-lessons on rise-over-run. Logan calculated the amount of material he would need and purchased it from the store. Then he sawed and hammered and raised his structure. He stretched clear plastic across the top for a roof. For the final touch he painted the walls yellow and installed a hand-me-down door left from Aaron's remodeling project.

  1. Good job, Logan. Is he going to add a roof later on?
