The neighbor to the west of us built a barn within about 10 feet of the property line right by our house. Before we bought the house, it was his intent to buy it. When he found out we had purchased it, he was a little *ouchy*. It took a little bit for him to come around, but he is OK now. They were tearing down an old bowling alley and the neighbor, we will call him John, got four pieces of the alley. He only needed two, so he asked Hubs if he wanted the other two. Hubs thought it would make a great shop table so he took John up on the offer. Army Son came over and loved the shop table. Since Hubs only used one, there was one left.
The boys all came over yesterday to build the shop table. No kidding - this was done with social distancing in affect.
The most amazing part of this to me wasn't this supersonic table. Watching your fellas spend the day together learning and poking fun at each other, well those memories can't be erased. This table will outlast us all, and so will those memories. I imagine that when Army Son is old and grey and working on this table with his son, he will have a story to tell - a story about maintaining social distance during uncertain times and still having a day with his brother and Papa Joe building this amazing bowling alley table.
The whole story is on my blog if you are interested.
