One kids does one kids work. Two kids gets 1/2 a kids work. Three kids gets 1/3 kids work. Sort of an inverse - three kids get into shennanigans and distractions. If spread out, work progress works fine.<br /><br />Well made hand tools are great, no gasoline to go buy, no electric cords to dig out, just pick it up and go to it. The current inexpensive foreign tools - well, they work, but not for a long time, the steel is thin and bends, the handles break - really frustrating to work with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-43003485512985113462012-11-06T07:58:05.954-05:002012-11-06T07:58:05.954-05:00In fact that is another good reason for you to sto...In fact that is another good reason for you to stop by this year if ya'll come down this way for the winter.<br />There most likely is a place for you and your lovely wife, just in case SHTF while you're in our neighborhood.
