haha my daughter's dfil is an engineer and the same way!! I am making the veggies, fruits etc that I saw another woman here had done for her grands and since the dfil is great at building (built himself 2 planes) I thought ok . . . if he could do the lil wooden store part, I will do everything else. My daughter sighed and said "well, if he does it, I know it will be a work of art; but I also know that it will take him 5 months to draw up the plans-two unsatisfied proto types and I see it being done to HIS satisfaction 2 yrs from today". I told her that is ok, the boys are 3yrs and 2 months so they will love it by then!! lol
