Good for you. Kids that are involved and do things are able to do stuff for themselves when they get older. It might be tinkering with a solar set up or repairing camper items or any number of things as a kid that gives them some direction as they get older.
A friend used to say his son loved to go boating and water skiing but it was a lot of work. I told him to make the kids go back and forth to fetch tools and get stuff.
If you tell them to go get a Phillips head screwdriver and they come back with a straight explain it and tell them to go back again and they won't be useless when they grow up. I told him if it's too much for him and the kids don't want to get with the program, sell the boat. That's another part of learning. Contribution/reward.
