Construction Work

Those of you who know me know how handy I (Scott) am with my hands. Both Beckham and Paisley were having trouble staying in their beds (and mosquito nets) throughout the night...which equals me having trouble getting a good sleep. The bunk beds, which don't have a ladder on them, were pretty 'mobile' and squeaky too.

Enter Scott the handy man.

I don't want to bore you with the details......just a few quick points:

-Two six foot 1x4 pieces of wood purchased in Mpigi town

-One pen to measure the wood flush to the bed frame (didn't end up flush)

-Some duct tape (which was actually packaged and called Duck Tape!)

-One hand saw compliments of Pat Kenyon

-One hammer

-Eight nails

End result? Two new 'bed guards' on the lower beds to keep Beck & Pais where they should be and the bed frames that no longer move.

Or in other words: Problem solved.

I don't want to brag...It was nothing really.....no big deal....just another day in Uganda working with my hands.

Now off to deal with a plumbing issue...

Supplies needed: One screwdriver

Signing off,
