Thursday's Child

A few years back my father decided to build a new workshop. So he hired some fella called Jacob to help in the construction. Jake claimed to have years of experience as a carpenter and brick layer. He just failed to explain the nature of his experience. The build might have gone a whole lot faster if the old man hadn't insisted on afternoon naps. During which the child whiled away his time improving his hammering technique. I think a few labour laws might have been stretched. Here it appears the boy is working through his lunch hour judging by the lunch-pail in the photo.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

That was when a 2X8 was 2 X 8, or you milled your own lumber.
Cute one, Wendell.

He will probably open a Tavern/Restaurant and call it "The Rusty Nail," Wendell.
What a great capture and narrative.
He does look like he has far to go before he is finished.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
