I hung the furring strips on the wall for my new pegboard while my 5yo helped by painting part of the workbench frame.

Edit: The current order is that I need to hang the board and finish the workbench. Then I can put away all my tools, and empty part of the storage unit. After that I’m going to build a massive bookcase with sliding ladder and then we can completely empty the storage unit.

And then there is the window bench/bookshelf for the 5yo, built in desk for the tween, building my closet and finishing the trim for the so’s, building a Murphy desk for the guest room, adding a sink to the laundry room, and finishing out the closet under the stairs.

    You let your 5 year old paint something real? I admire your bravery.

      Eh, it’s a workbench in a garage. It neither needs to be painted nor does it matter what it looks like. I think it’s more important that we get to spend some time together doing something fun and out of SO’s hair.
