It's finished...Miss M has a train table!

Andrew started working on the train table shortly after moving into the house.

We made a trip to the hardware store.

This is only the first cart. There were two full carts by the time we left.  We had to buy all the tools for woodworking which ranges from a level to a saw.

We should consider buying stock in the hardware store.

Andrew had the plans ready and started his work in the "baby house" (which Miss M calls it).  I don't know how to describe the baby house. It's essentially a nice shed...I guess.

M was helping sand the table. 

We learned that paint can't be left outside in the winter when you live in the Midwest due to freezing and once paint freezes it's unusable.  Therefore, we bought new paint and brought the table inside to paint and finish putting together.

Andrew brought it inside and realized it wasn't going to fit downstairs nor was it going to fit Miss M.  She wouldn't be able to play with her table or tracks if he kept the table at its original height. So the table went outside again and Andrew successfully cut the legs of the table down around four inches.

Then painting commenced.  Look at the focus.

After we came home from shopping Sunday we put the table together and Miss M was thrilled.  She was really tired and not wanting to play until she realized her train table was finally complete.

A proud daddy and a happy Miss M.  Perfection.

We can't wait to see what other wood working projects he has in store for us!
