ALL OR NOTHING--GUNG HO--OBSESSED!

If you've been reading my blog at all you know about Papa's new hobby--bee keeping.  The UPS people are making regular deliveries of "stuff" that have to do with bees.  I couldn't find him today and went to the barn.  He was in the office with LOTS of boxes having a ball. He needed a certain size nail so I suggested going to McComb to eat supper, getting the nails, picking up some books that had come in at the book store (and sneaking in a WalMart trip).  He was so "antsy" that he couldn't eat!  We ran our errands and came home so he could BUILD! This is the man who doesn't do tools!  I helped him and we built five "supers" (where the bees store the honey for your use) and 30 frames where the honey comb is made.  We have five more boxes to build and 20 more frames to build.  I love tools so I'm having fun helping.  I got a new nail gun (not one like construction guys use--a smaller one for projects like bird houses, etc.).  I can shoot some nails!   Don't his boxes look good?  He's going to paint them. I told him about the paint that Lowe's has that people order and don't like. You know--the colors that don't work!!  He bought three gallons of rather interesting colors.  Not only are the boxes built in top notch fashion but they will be designer colors too!  More to come in the Cotton Branch Bee saga!
