Then the boys remembered ” NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE COMES IN OUR HOUSE AND TAKES OUR GAME PLAN”) ( Quote from “Rudy”) This intruder represented the largest fence manufacturer in the world from Tulsa Oklahoma. My son Andrew . said, my dad told Us not to let anyone know how we do this, I need to erase those pictures, its our intellectual property and we’re not supposed to let anybody even you sir. Steven go get Dad. NOW. Steven sprint’s to the house.

I jump up and run to the barn and burst open the door ,it slammed the work bench and rattled everything and every one. “what is going on here”.

The owner calls and took a minute to get related & be polite. Then says I’m going to make it worth your boys while. And boy did he . he paid for three years of collage tuitions for all three sons. If we would allow them permission the film what the boys were doing. We were ecstatic and couldn’t understand why they want film of our boys . You see the boys were the inspiration for the $25,000 assemblies competition. When the competition was over they sent a DVD to all the fence guys that signed up showing the boys assembly method. That’s enough excitement for one day it gets better.
