Greetings all ye excellent Scrappers!
I'm basically getting into scrapping to develop a close bond with my son. He's 5 years old.
My dad spent a lot of time at work when I grew up, so I wasn't very close to him. I didn't do many of the "Father/Son" things with him. I never learned how to use tools, and when I left home, I didn't even own any tools.
My son loves it when I say "I've got a job for you" and I have him come out and pick up all the screws with his magnet tool, and put them all in a bucket.
I try to include him in everything I do for 3 reasons:
1-I want to create memories with him that he'll remember when he's grown up, and has a son of his own.
2-I want him to become confident in his skills with tools, so he can fix things himself when he grows up, instead of needing to pay people to do everything for him.
3-Most importantly, I want to be close to my son all his life, and it starts right now at home.
Anyway, I just wanted to give you an idea of who I am and what my son & I are doing.
We don't have a truck yet, so we use the family car (Honda Pilot). I imagine as soon as we find a truck, we'll be able to go out & collect more metal.
At least for now, we're spending a lot of time together...and that's what's most important to me.
I've got a lot of questions, so I hope you all will be patient with me as I ask all the newbie questions like "what's the difference between stainless steel and steel?" or "Is a computer printer worth my time to scrap?"
Thanks for reading & I'm looking forward to meeting you all!
God Bless you all!
