Baseball Rack

We put the baseball rack together today. I think most of it will stay together, and JT had fun.


Measuring the sides



Drilling pilot holes



Attaching the mitt and hat brackets

We did go back and screw them in from behind, but I am not convinced these will stay on. When they fall off, I'll replace them with store-bought hooks.


Finished rack

Balls on top, mitts and hats in the middle, bats and bat bags on the bottom.


Painting on the primer

Afterward, he put on a coat of red. He wants go back and paint in black stripes. He also wants brown. Sadly, his mother wants something slightly less violent. I'll let him paint in the black, but brown? Really?

  1. Dash just told me that he is jealous that JT can use real power tools. He is tired of using his pretend plastic ones and is packing his hobo bag right now and is going to run away from home and go live with you cool people...
