Building a play house.....Much harder when your tools dont work!

We decided to build our kids a play house in the back yard for the summer time. We have the girls coming and by then Kaiden will be walking so thought it would be a great idea to give them a play area so they can play outside this summer. Well we have so far ran into a few small snags but we have had a blast working on our project. Sean had two days off during the week so we got started on it not thinking it would take too long to build but slowly coming to the realization that it will take longer then expected. Anyhow some of our tools were not working right and so he started cutting all the wood by hand saw which was pretty funny, not for him but I had a few good chuckles watching him in action. We finally get all of our wood cut with the help of mom loaning us a electric saw... Thank you for that because it saved poor Sean's arms. We started to get the flooring put together when Sean got to one tough piece. He was hamming in the nail when it bent. Well the nail had to come out and in the process I heard a crack. He immediately put down the hammer and started to shake his head, I then asked him if he broke the wood and he replied with yep think so. Well I inspected the wood and noticed it was ok so I picked up the hammer and started to remove the nail when we then noticed the head of the hammer was broken. I immediately started to laugh uncontrollably when he picked it up to inspect it and this is what we got on camera. LOL. It was the funniest thing and we had a great laugh, and thanks again to mom we were able to get a working hammer.
