$58 in lawn chairs, and they bought me ice cream.
Awwwwwww.........................
And now thats my kind of girl there at the end - LOVE that ''don't even THINK about slacking!'' look!!
I got them all magnets at the scrap yard. Then we stopped for ice cream. The take apart all the copper do dads from my boards too. They spend the money walking to the hot dog shop and ice cream place. It is good for them to learn to work smart, and know some financial independence.
If they could load a fridge, LMAO.
That is so cool Geiser! Good for them and good for you too! And you never know, kids are pretty smart they might just figure it out and get it done LOL!
Jr. Helped my buddy load a lawn tractor. I wasn't here but had a load sittin and told a buddy I'd split it with him. The condition was he took MJ with him and gave him my half. My wife was watching and said Paul and MJ got it to the truck and rested it on the tailgate and Paul pulled and MJ shoved. Little MJ is a beast a true irishman. We are on a job and breaking out concrete, wife shows up with lunch and he starts picking up concrete taking it to the truck. Zero concept of I can't sees a job and just gets busy. Anyway they took the stuff to the yard and went on another run. MJ came home with $100, and a lesson in work ethic.
Thats really cool man..i have a son on the way here shortly..cant wait..my dad never had me hold a hammer b4 i was 20.. i look forward to good times..well done..u seem like a great father..congrats n gl
Looks like Marcus has got it worked out, work smart, why stand up when you can sit down?
Ya I like his style, he has more experience so he shows the older kids what to do. AND he plays the expert with his magnet. He will home in on a screw, or bolt, touch and shake his head. Just like us he wants to live in a world where everything is bright, shiney, #1.Quote:

Life is so unfair!!! This guy has 3 addorable children helping him, and everyone thinks it's admirable, character building and just darn cute. I had 100 children breaking down my scrap, 16 hours a day in an old warehouse....and I get ARRESTED! And I'm pretty sure 2 of mine got to share n ice cream once! LOL (joking...i am only joking people)
I came here thinking of the best crew i ever worked with, and although I've worked with a lot of crews, including oil fields(land rigs and offshore), lots of heavy construction, and a gold mine(8000 feet deep), I don't guess I could come close to matching your crew :)
My father owned a machine shop right next to our home. We never were forced to work but we didn't get allowance either so I was machining parts for singer sewing machines when I was 8 years old and rocker arms for Cummins 24 valve diesel engines by the time I was 15. I may have done the machining on the rockers in the truck I own now. Those experienced were priceless, when my friends were getting their first jobs flipping burgers for 6 bucks an hour I was already running my own heavy equipment repair business and making 30-50. Thanks dad.
