project of the day
While K rides out a first refusal* and waits for work he likes to be busy all the time.
Last week he planted some vegetables, built a new side walk, cut the grass, and did a lot of cooking.
Middle had a spotty schedule last week and had found instructions on line for building a dolly track. He was good enough to go through the motions of attempting this construction on his own but it was only a short while before K got involved.
This is the kind of thing I do when I have down time - this is theirs:
Sometimes I have to check in on the celebrities. Sometimes they have to use the miter box.
They spent a couple of hours going to the hardware store, assembling materials from the garage and drilling pilot holes. Middle was especially fun to watch as he fit all the poles together and did some pole dancing, some pole fighting and some pole vaulting with the poles...
This was my view for much of the construction -
and, in the end, they had produced a very serviceable, smooth rolling dolly -
or dolly TRACKS - or something.
And, so, Middle can track and scan, or scan and zoom. Or something.
He's very pleased with it and is now shooting a film in which the music at our house becomes so loud that our home actually explodes.
Or something.
*First refusal: someone wants K for a project but isn't sure when it will begin. They "hold" his time and he cannot take another project without checking with them.

And I have a little lust in my heart for your stone retaining walls.

I believe that Middle will be famous someday. At the very least he will be doing something he loves to do, which is better than being famous.
And I have only just discovered crosswords. Correction. I've only just discovered that I can do them and the associated fun/delight at this realisation.
I am LOVING those stone retaining walls.
Love the pictures. I'd also love my rear end to be such that I'd be happy for someone to post it on their blog. Not going to happen.
And also, I long to sit on that shady bench.
And I have to ask.
Only ONE trip to the hardware store?! It's usually a minimum of three per project over here.
Can K come over and build us a dolly track too and while he's at it does he know how to install railings? We've been waiting 3 months for the iron man! Cement steps without a railing & an active 4 year old = total nightmare.

I am assuming these people pay K a holding fee for his time. Otherwise I will be cross.
It must touch K that Middle is so interested/passionate about film.
