We started out by spray painting our garden table. It was a bitt lack luster and starting to get on the rusty side. We had some black spray leftover from a school project. It turned out really great.
Then I moved on to mending some clothes. Hubby had several pairs of pants that needed rehemmed. Then the big kid had some knee patched and the little kid had most of his pants and shorts taken in. Apparently they are all too big without a diaper on.
Then we moved onto houses for the tortoises. The boys built them. And then the toddler decided that we should paint them red. So we have red houses for the Tubby and Turbo.
And they actually love them. They spend most of their sleeping time in there.
Then I got on pinterest for a little break. And I found myself on Ana White's website. And then I found this great thing. Jet's always asking to help. So I decided to make one out the extra wood we had from making our bed.
So I did. The only money I spent was buying paint, a 1X8 and some screws. And it was a pain in the rear. I had a lot of problems with the wood splitting. It's a good thing we had extras. I solved the problem by using smaller screws. It wasn't in the plans. And so far it seems to hold the big kid. Jet however, it scared to stand on it. LOL. So much for that idea.
I still have some painting to do on it. I want to stencil some dinosaurs or airplanes on it. He wanted green paint too. So I bought a little sample. But it's built and usable as is.
And lastly, I made hubby a new wheelchair cushion. It was kind of a pain. But he does like it. And it seems to work. I made a sham like cover. Most of his problem is the cushion itself breaking down. So now we can just replace or even add more foam.
And that was our weekend. Rionn even made his video and built a robot for his interview video for robotics club. I still have to figure out how to send it to his school. He's so excited about it.
