Securing the soccer net frame


Aidan's hockey/soccer net has been coming apart while the boys play with it. Skye had a suggestion, for Austin to secure parts of the frame together, by using screws. When I awoke from my big sleep-in on Mother's Day morning, there was a heavy-duty extension cord leading from the kitchen to outside, and at the end of it, was Austin using a power tool.

Austin was attaching screws to the frame, with a power drill and a screwdriver bit. Aidan was quick to explain to me that this is a difficult job for Austin, because the frame doesn't already have holes in it, so Austin had to make holes for the screws to go through.

At one point, Austin finished attaching a screw, only to realise that he had failed to first connect the frame parts. So, he undid the screw, connected the frame, and started over. I was pleased to see how well he managed that frustration.
