Great Family Idea #1
My wife Lisa is an amazing problem solver. We recently had dilemmas of financing three separate birthday parties for our children. Lisa decided that from now on we would have One Un-Birthday party for everyone! One big party and we scheduled it for the Friday before the last day of school.
Great Risk Mitigation #2
During our planning for the party we recognized a hazard in our yard for children playing about. A bush-like plant has been in the process of dying for quite some time. Cutting back the limb was a scheduled task that continued to be delayed and rescheduled.
Interesting how sometimes safety/hazard removal work tasks are easier to push back?
Here is a photo of the Hazard.

Even without doing a root cause analysis, I can tell this is not a pleasant falling hazard!
Needless to say time was running out in party preparation and while I made a plan with chainsaws and come-a-longs, Lisa implemented a very clever solution.

Moral – Temporary barriers can be clever but Do the Work in a Timely Manner.
As a post script: the hazard was removed after the party.

Cheers,
Loyd
