In the middle of packing up our stuff and preparing to move, we decided to work on a fun project. Our friends had given us an old wooden end table and we just HAD to refinish it before we moved. While I was at work TJ did a great job sanding the table. We picked out the stain and TJ began to stain the end table. I went to check on him and it was not going well. The stain was too dark and uneven...it was time to re-sand and start again, this time with a good brush applying the stain thin and away from direct sunlight. This is our nice new table....
TJ also wanted to build a new computer this summer. We received some old parts from a co-worker and the dumpster. He worked with his brother to order the new parts we were missing to build a new system. Once they arrived, a few days late, TJ started the process and... failure. He was not sure what was wrong. After asking a friend to test the system with some of his computer parts, he determined it may be the motherboard he got from the dumpster. So, after another order, he was able to build the system. This time it works! Now we must begin to work on a new desk for the computer and work space....we love projects.

I think your husband and mine would get along great. Sean has boxes of computer parts I'm always trying to get him to throw out. He says he might need them someday. I think everyone uses him for their computer dump. I believe he has 5 working computers now and that isn't including Wyatt's and mine. He's such a nerd!
Hey, nice puter.
