Winter advice for people new to winter

Given the characters on hand, I would be worrying most about damage to my own body when said 2X4s came hurtling out from under spinning wheels.  Sounds like "judgement of the situation at hand" was not their strong suit......yet a learning experience for the visitors!  

Hi John,

Possibly worse, 2x12s.   Anyway, I selected a good place to stand. It didn’t matter. They couldn’t figure out how to use the sand. AND, I am remembering as I write this, I was asked which way the board needed to be turned.  I suppose it is sort of like right  and left handed drywall screws.  I was nice, I told them it didn’t matter. And it didn’t.  They never tried to use the boards.
