fixing a leak


When the contractors pulled back the carpet in the extra bedroom in the basement, we realized there has been a slow and steady leak from the outside into the room. Ugh...just another thing to deal with. Instead of having the contractors fix the problem, Adam decided to do the job himself. He and his sidekick Aiden spent the day sealing the suspected crack (looked more like a gaping whole).


Aiden enjoyed himself thoroughly. If I had to take a bet right now, I'd bet that he'd grow up to be a construction worker. Adam gave him the job of moving dirt from one container to another and Aiden went to work enthusiastically. You'd think after an hour or so he'd get distracted but not a chance. He worked (and played) tirelessly. Every time I checked in on him he'd explain what he and Daddy were doing in a very serious tone and immediately go back to work.

  1. Aiden, I love that "Do it Yourself" attitude and the great manual labor help you are giving your Dad. I know he is proud of his hardest working helper and there is nothing like having a good son to help around the house! Your Dad is giving you some really good training for the future!

  2. BTW: Child Labor Laws are still in effect in 2008!
