That's the way to do it, Tim-- get them full grown - skips all the messy years. :)
Haven't heard much from Kentucky but you never know-- we have a lot of people who read only and one may pop in with something. G/L
I think everyone I know in that part of the world is in or from McCracken County.

Sounds like you have a ready made crew to help and learn also, Tim. Teach them what you know. That some are girls doesn't matter. They can use construction trade skills too. They will thank you later. Hope the housing works out.
hey you would not believe my 14 year old daughter ,she can and will crawl under a house as fast as i will and has to be as good i plumber as you will find anywhere all 4 of my kids work with dad and my dad .we have roofers and my 16 year old son can tile a floor better than i can , even the little one who is 8 helps out she does finish work on sheetrock and painting. we dont have my step kids in it yet they dont like to get dirty but we are workin on them . they want a new house tooo so they are going to have to help if they want to beable to pick room when we get a house up and ready to move in .
Good job, Tim. I was working weekends for food for my old dead uncle. Learned a lot at about 9 years old. :)
If you wait until they are out of school to start teaching them, it is too late. They will have wasted a significant portion of their life and at a time when they learn the fastest. Their time will have been occupied with TV - Nintendo - hanging out with the gang etc. You are doing good by my opinion. :)
