Phase 1 of the roof redo. stripping shingles and patching a surprise hole we didn’t expect to find. Nothing like discovering extra “bonus projects” mid-demo. First time doing a roof. #youtubeuniversity

Teaching my daughter the art of throwing knives—with safe 3D-printed ones, of course.
My wife shows how it’s done, and we all aim small to miss small.

She collects mugs. I build displays.
A little weekend project to show her (and the mugs) some love.

We didn’t plan it.
No worksheets. No schedule.
Just a weekend of frogs, foxes, and daisy crowns.
This is homeschooling—when you let the world teach. 🌾
He saw me grab the bucket and ran to grab a sponge.
Not because it was his job. But because it was mine.
Our kids want to be with us in the small stuff.
Not later. Not when it’s convenient.
He didn’t want to wash the truck.
He wanted to be part of what I was doing.
So we made a mess. Laughed a lot.
And yeah, the truck got clean, too.

✨ Just a little magic for our summer nights.
String lights, barefoot kids, laughter in the air —
this is the kind of glow we’ll remember.

Stopped for a moment to watch a bumblebee working the overgrown chive blossoms.
In the middle of building, parenting, planning — nature’s still doing her thing. Quietly. Beautifully.
Sometimes the best part of homesteading is what grows when you don’t control it.

Shed Build Series: Sheet Metal Time!
We’re covering up — putting on the metal roofing and siding, one panel at a time.
Drills humming, panels lining up, and yes… the kids found a way to be part of it too (even if that meant playing with magnets and handing us screws 😄).
This part always feels like a transformation — from a skeleton of studs to a solid structure that’s finally taking shape.
Still a ways to go, but this roof is on, and it’s starting to feel real.

🏠 Shed Build Series: Roof Time!
This episode we’re up top — cutting rafters and explaining how to make those key bird’s mouth cuts so everything sits tight and true.
It’s a mix of math, muscle, and measuring twice (sometimes three times with kids around 😅).
The kids are still on board, handing up tools and keeping things interesting.
One step closer to a roof over our shed and another memory made.

Shed walls going up — and so are the memories.
Today we got two more walls framed and mounted, with the kids lending a hand (and then diving into a well-earned sandbox break).
It’s not just about what we’re building — it’s who we’re building it with.
Every project becomes a lesson, a laugh, and a chance to slow down and do something real together.
