If there’s one thing I can count on, it’s Monster making a mess inside the house.
However for some reason when he gets outside, he is the complete opposite, he just wants to clean up! We’ll come outside so he can ride a bike or play with the dog, but instead he grabs a broom and starts sweeping up.
Inside, he is petrified of the noisy vacuum cleaner – outside, the ShopVac is his favourite toy! As soon as I’m done cutting, sanding, sawing, whatever, he makes a beeline for the Vac with an excited look on his face.
And wow does he take it seriously, he won’t rush at all. He honestly hovers over the same 10cm square section of ground for a good minute or two so that he has picked up every possible speck in it. My electricity bill has gone up 50% since he discovered it.
He’s also helped me cut with a handsaw a few times. Both of his little hands on the handle (my hand over his), he pumps back and forth so quick that the saw teeth don’t get a chance to dig into the wood! But hey, he likes the scratches he makes on the wood so all is good.
The problem is my hammer, I have to treat it like the tablesaw; if I’m not using it at that particular second, it is put high away. Monster thinks it’s a magical tool that turns anything you hit, into a drum…
