Around the House

It has been a fairly routine week at the Stout house this week.  We have done the usual activities, scouts, volleyball, swimming and, of course, lots of homework.  Since life has slowed down a bit, we are trying to focus a little on our home and some of those projects that we have been wanting to do for a while.
This week the focus was on a workbench in the garage.  Having a workshop has always been high on Jeff's list.  After 8 years of fixing and building things in the "spare room", the addition of the garage had a big impact.  But it just wasn't quite complete without a workbench.  Now that our garage seems to be our own, and we happened to get some free scrap lumber, it was time to get busy.  The project just seemed to become more complicated as the day went on, but in the end, we have the sturdiest workbench I have ever encountered!  Jeff is looking forward to using his new workbench for our next project, after he finishes cleaning up the mess in the garage!
