Tonight Phoebe decided she would give me a hand as I worked on the sub-paneling for her room. I was cutting and screwing half inch plywood to the lower half of the walls. The plywood will give plenty of strength and will hold up to whatever might happen in a kid's play room. Finish paneling and trim will go over this.
Although I had all the right tools that we needed up in the room already Phoebe insisted that we go out to the workshop to load her tool pouch up with ALL her tools. I tried to explain we didn't need screwdrivers nor open-end wrenches but she wanted them all - JUST IN CASE. As we worked I made sure we used a wide variety of them (actually needed or not) and she explained to me it was a very good thing she brought them. I had to agre of course!
One room of the house now has four walls that actully look like walls. Tomorrow, perhaps we begin work on the second.
