Chip off the old block!

Steve and Liam came by this morning, and he offered to replace the carpeting on my steps.  When it really started to look good he offered to do the porch if I get more carpeting.

Liam came with his tool belt around his waist, and it so funny to watch him mirror every move his dad made.  When Steve would hammer a nail, Liam would find something to hammer with his own little "Black & Decker" hammer.  Before the new carpet could go on Steve had to replace the rotten wood in the steps, and it's now looking pretty good.

Steve had a Sharpie behind his ear and when he set it down it wasn't long before Liam picked it up.

Break time!  Daddy was enjoying a cold one and we noticed that every time the can went up to his lips, Liam pretended he was doing the same thing.  I told Steve, "Boy, you'd better be careful what you do from now on!"

Here are the carpeted steps, and as soon as I can get to Lowe's I'll get more carpet for the porch.

 

Steve got payment for all the work he did when I showed him the offending camp cot.  He said "You're gonna hate me for this." and immediately inserted both sides of the leg into the slots.  I couldn't believe how easy he made it look.  Guys!!!  God love 'em.

I'm worn out from a day of work!
