A pile of wood…what are these kids up to?
There’s the mysterious carpenter and his workbench. What’s that strange thing he is building?
Oooo. Shaping up into something, huh?
The happy builders/designers. This is early in the day. We were a little more exhausted towards the end of the day.
Yay! Project nearly complete.
What’s this addition, you might wonder?
And a random picture of our sphinx-shiba. Hi, Titus!
In the midst of the construction, we got a visit from Tobin’s wonderful parents! They brought us another piece of the puzzle we were putting together.
All four of us. It was forecast to rain all weekend, but we had a beautiful sunshiny day at the beach and it only decided to get muggy and rainy at the end of the day. Thanks, God!
Ok, and these two videos will show you what we have been spending 2 weeks of building, painting, and coaxing/training on:

So, in 2 short weeks (weekend work only), we got this all designed and built. 
Ok, Tobin did most of the building. But I helped! And painted. Now if we can just get the dogs to use it…
PS, a quick video of Titus and his Jack Russell buddies:
You guys are amazing. That’s what happens when two engineers get married.
I think you should build me a bookshelf, kitchen cabinets, workbench for the garage and a picnic table for the patio. But, other than that, I can’t think of a thing.
Good job guys! Amazing work!
Ha, thanks, Mom! I would gladly volunteer Tobin for building the bookshelf, workbench, & picnic table! I don’t know about cabinets…installing, maybe, but we don’t have the tools to make them as pretty as you would probably like. Anyway, I better ask T before I offer his services out to everyone!
I would love to have a little woodshop in our garage, but the tools are very expensive, and so are the materials come to think of it! Maybe someday…
I love it! Very creative. I am so impressed that just the two of you put all of that together. You two are really cool.
I dream of someday doing woodworking and cabinetry….perhaps, perhaps. You two have inspired me. 
We’ll miss you this weekend! If I get any good pictures, I will send them to you.
love!
