Dan T ,
Good to hear! Sounds like a great opportunity, a reall win-win situation.
I was thinking about getting some help from my nephews over the next couple of summers to help on prepping some property I own for a retirement home. I mentioned it to my wife and she said "no way their parents will let them do it". She thought it was dangerous as well. Dangerous? Well, I said I'd teach them how to use a chainsaw, drive a tractor, run a backhoe, pull stumps. She thought of ALL of those activities as "dangerous". Well sure, if you're not taught how to do it, but my whole point was to get them out of the house, away from the video games and actually teach them something. Plus, I'm 64 and they should be able to out-lift, out-work me at their age (teens). My wife doesn't think it's "dangerous" for me to do things, even stuff I've never done before. Her response is always "you're handy and smart with that kind of stuff". Well, if the kids are never given the opportunity to learn, they'll never get "smart with that kind of stuff" either.
