Thanks man, I remember seeing that pic in your build thread! I'm really lucky that my kids like working with me.
Been super busy with work so unfortunately I haven't gotten much done at home.

This is what I've been up to the past two months.

@Rob.D awesome workmanship dude!

A lot of spouses complain that the hobby takes time away from family time, but your crew had been there from the ground up!

My boys are at the age that they want to help with projects, but get tired of it pretty fast lol

I was planning on building my stand this past Sunday but the rain almost flooded our house and we spent the day hand trenching the yard to help drain off the flood water to the culvert. Had the boys snap a pic after the wife and I finished up, we were soaked from the rain and covered in mud!
