Matt started by teaching her how to use the miter saw and how to measure the 2x6's for placement on the cover. After 1 or 2 with Matt's help, she was soon making the measurements and cutting the wood on her own. She handed him each piece of wood and held the ladder while he screwed them in.
After everything was measured, she even started using the drill. They spent about 4 hours together and had a great bonding day...not a single frustrating moment! She was the perfect apprentice and Matt was a great teacher!
