Soccer goal project

A couple of weekends ago stud boy and I spent an afternoon doing a project. Now this was not our typical stud boy & daddy “project”. We typically head over to the Home Depot monthly to do their free kids project, which you’ve seen evidence of in the past. It’s usually pre-cut and just needs glue, nails and some hammering.
This time the two of us headed to Home Depot for supplies to build a soccer goal. The inspiration was that he left the last couple of soccer games complaining about not scoring a goal.
So, we’ll practice.
I found some instructions for a PVC pipe goal thru a couple sites that all led back to (or lifted) from www.thisoldhouse.com. We grabbed supplies and then back home to do manly stuff.

We measured twice and cut up our PVC. Here is stud boy flexing his newly-acquired sawing muscles.

And then some sandpapering to smooth out those rough edges.

Looks good.
