For those of you who had children while you were building, I'm curious how much they were able (or willing) to help? How old? What tasks?
I ask because I just finished rebuilding a motorcycle and much of that time I had the respirator on because of the fumes or particulates, and therefore my 7-year old wasn't able to help much at all. However, I'm really considering starting a RV-10 this summer/fall and figure that drilling, deburing, and riviting isn't nearly as hazardous to our lungs. It would be really cool if he would/could help, but I wonder if I have unrealistic expectations. Sure, each kid is different, but in many ways they are very similar. I'd just like to hear from you all on how it really is.
Thanks for reading.
