Family Visit - part 1 -- the build

Carl's three daughters and three of his granddaughters visited this past weekend and stayed in the "Williams' Casa".

One of the things Carl had as an activity was to get "help" on putting our new patio heater together. Daughter Pamela read the directions and granddaughters McKenna and Lianna helped "Auntie" and "Papa" to put it together:

Getting started on the base -- we didn't realize until Pamela started reading the directions that we needed 25 pounds of sand to go into the base to begin with -- the work crew continued undeterred with construction while I drove over to Lowe's to acquire sand.

We've already used it multiple times and we know that each time we use it, we'll remember that family helped us put it together!
