Just do not let them take up drywall hanger / finisher for a living . They will be worn out before they reach 50.

It's one of the most important responsibilities that a dad has and unfortunately too many of today's dads try to delegate it or neglect it altogether. There is just no substitute for a dad teaching his kids the things they need to know. Thanks for the great pics and reminder. Good looking crew you got there.
