We have survived another week of home schooling and now it is bank holiday weekend and half term. To start the long weekend today was spent mostly doing jobs such as cleaning the house, cutting the grass, cleaning the car, cleaning the hot tub filters etc. In between all of that I had one little DIY job which needed doing and I decided to teach Joshua and let him do it instead of me. At some point he has got to learn to do some basic DIY and someone has got to teach him - so no time like the present.
So the job at hand for Joshua was to fix our key safe box to the side of the new extension porch. I provided hi the basic instructions and how to use the tools safely, but then it was entirely down to him. He had to mark the holes, drill them, hammer in the raw plugs, then screw the box to the wall. Despite being a little eager to use his first power tool (the drill), I have to say he has done an excellent job and the key box is very safe and secure in its new position.
So if anyone wants some cheap child labour to complete some DIY - Handyman Josh is available. PS I apologise for Joshua's hair in the pictures, we have been in lock down for 10 weeks and he refuses to let me cut it for him!!!!!

| Then it was time to let Josh loose with the drill in "hammer" mode on speed 2 to get through the brick. |
 |
| With the holes the right size it was easy to tap in the raw plugs. |
 |
| And finally the finished job all screwed securely to the wall. Well done Josh. |
