No, the OP said GRADES 4,7,9,11. Making the kidlets 9,12,14, and 16. The last two are for sure old enough to have some fun with a power saw, since shop classes in modern schools seem few and far between.[/quote]
My bad, I missed the word grade. You’re right, the 9 & 11th grader would old enough to help do the remodel (even the 4th and 7th grader would like to help paint). Assuming the parents like to do the remodel themselves. I know I did like helping my dad. However, my cousins doesn’t and aren’t helping their parents. When you’re dealing with teenagers, you have less power than you think. If they don’t want to help you, they probably will make you a lot slower than if they just sit in their room.
