John Deere Green...

My oldest has a project...he wants to repaint his go-cart. He bought his spray paint yesterday, John Deere Green, hence the title.


This morning he started the day by pushing the go-cart from the garage...he of course wanted to immediately paint...but we're teaching him that any job doing is worth doing well, therefore he needed to clean it. He thought he might just use his daddy's compressor and blow it off...but his plans were foiled when his daddy said he needed to wash it.

He decided he wanted to take off the roll bar that he had painstakingly put on many months ago...but since it's not the right roll bar and grabs branches which quickly come back to slap you in the face...well, it needed to be removed.

I love hubby getting involved and giving advice on how to accomplish such jobs as the fine art of removing rusty screws and stubborn bolts.

I love to see my boy working on projects...I especially love watching him use his mechanic abilities like his daddy.

Today's painting project has been foiled by high humidity and rain...looks as if he might not be able to paint for a few days according to the forecast.

~Update...January 7...

.

A beautiful, mild and sunny day allowed my very enthusiastic boy to continue his project...


See how he strategically placed that cardboard box!


A job complete!


And well worth the hard work...for this, a wonderful fun filled, yet rainy, very muddy ride with his best bud...
