Solution to a Frustrating Problem

I thought I would let my son Andrew tell you about another one of our goofs. He was actually writing to his grandparents:

Hello

You probably heard that we lost the key to the old house.

We went to the old house and took of some boards off (in between the windows) and got in but the key wasn't in there.
but one of the doors was only locked on the in side so we un locked that. We took out the generator (that was in side) out.
With the generator out we had electricity.
Remember that thing you gave to Dad that you mount on a drill to cut metal?
Well we used it to cut the lock. Then Dad got a combination lock.

Love Andrew B.
