I have this really annoying hole in the basement. It's a roughed in pipe should I ever be adopted by Krista and have the dough, or the will, to finish the basement. So after Dylan's soccer game Sunday I tell the boys we are going to hit a new home construction complex to get some wood so I could make a box to go over it. Cal says "so you're going to steal some wood Dad?". There was way too much nonchalance in his tone of voice. I explained I was only taking stuff out of the dumpster.....He didn't seem too convinced but I could tell he thought it was cool.
I get about a 5 foot 2x4 and a 6 foot or so L shaped piece of plywood out of the dumpster. Plywood wouldn't fit with the boys in the car. So me, in my stupid mind, think "hey Bob just kick the L off, I can't be too strong". So I begin to walk away from the car and Cal says "hey Dad! Just karate kick it!".

####, it's on. So I leaned it up against the dumpster and BOOM snapped it right at the seam. Dylan let out a gleeful "OH MY GOD!!". Cal was more in shock and just went "WHOAHHHHH". Now, it's particle board. This really shouldn't be a difficult thing but my boys thought it was the coolest thing ever. That right there was neat.
