Not the video I promised yet...but a quick picture of fireworks and airplanes. The plane is made out of foamboard insulation!

That is very high on the cool scale.

That is very high on the cool scale.

It's pretty fun...the plane has a 6 foot wingspan and he fly's it right into the fireworks...it had a few scorch marks on it!

Just for fun, here's a flying sleigh & reindeer he built back in 2016. I don't know when he's going to get the video up from this year. He has some on YouTube from I believe 2017, where he has a camera mounted to the plane and you can see the fireworks coming at it!

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a good year so far... One of my Welsummer girls was out of the pen yesterday, but she stayed in today...I'm not quite sure where she got out this time!

Yesterday we worked on the drawer fronts and today we worked on prepping the lower cabinet doors getting them ready to stain. It was an all day ordeal. Some of the original color was completely bleached out, so after washing & sanding we had to add some golden oak stain to bring the color back on them so that we will hopefully get an even coat of the darker stain.
This is a first coat on one of the drawer fronts and one original for comparison!

Hi Kat...thank you! I was very nervous about doing this...but so far it's going pretty good...I hope the actual end product matches the vision I have.

We loved that. He is truly gifted! I can't wait to see the fireworks.
