Mark loves being a DIY home renovater ALMOST as much as he loves being an uncle.
image
Uncle Mark was in his full glory when nephews, Lucas and Joey, came in for a quick visit with Mark’s sister, Trish.
image
Leading up to the reunion, Mark went to our local Busy Beaver (his fave spot) and picked out some safety glasses for the kids.
image
He also grabbed a 2×4 and put the boys through a “home renovation” exercise that Mark definitely enjoyed waaaay more than they did. 🙂
Lucas and Joey measured the wood and used the chop saw to cut it.
image
Then we had them sign their names to the boards.
image
Finally, they nailed their pieces to an open wall in our kitchen.
image
When Mark puts drywall over this section, the boys’ wood pieces will forever be part of the house.
image
And in 100 years, when someone else comes in and guts the place…they’ll see who was here before!
image
The boys were all smiles while helping Mark, but all they really wanted to do was play baseball.
image
Uncle Mark is pretty good at that too. 🙂
