Maybe when we built it we thought we needed a cage since Evan was not yet two years old and we knew we'd be having another baby around soon, but we are tired of the cage. It's time to open things up.
Todd started dismantling the handrail spindles last night and the kids helped.
He showed both of them how to use the drill to get the screws out. Chloe wasn't such a fan of it and preferred to just haul away the loose spindles to the garage. Evan was a pro.
The boy likes power tools. Just like his dad.
Todd left a spindle here and there for stability until the next phase of construction. You can see Chloe at work (also trying to dodge the camera).
I love the Superman cape hanging down out of Evan's coat. He still dresses up all the time.
Since Todd has quite a few house projects going right now (swings to hang from the backyard tree, front yard landscaping and grass, sidewalk cement pouring, building a bed with drawer storage underneath for us, building a loft-type bed for the kids), the deck getting opened up to the yard might not get done immediately but we will chip away at it.
The plan is to put in a large staircase and support posts for the overhead pergola so there will be no more cage!
