and no that's not in reference to a marital spat. It's literal...
That would be Alan grinding away at various pieces of metal as he is modifying a backhoe bucket. This is part of a piece of heavy equipment that the Sowers family is using as they build the ministry center outside of Gracias. :)
Needless to say it's been pretty loud at our house lately. I never realized we have a weld shop out the back door.
He's finishing up the project today after working for several hours with a not-so-sharp tool. Getting fed up, he drove down to the ferreteria (tool store...) and bought some new parts and more welding rod. Amazing what a difference the right tool can make. He should finish this afternoon and be able to take the newly minted bucket back so they can play in the dirt some more.
I'll post 'finished' pictures when it's finished!

My FIL was a welder, taught the Wookie all his knows :) I do love watching capable people working, find it fascinating. Looks like a great job too!
Methinks you might be losing the olde English. We usually call the ferreteria a "hardware" store. Tool store works, too. Cute, Faith. Before long you'll be asking kids in English how many years they have!
