He needs to buy a power nailer, matched nails, collect all necessary tools, including a new saw. The plan process is also a very good learning opportunity.

I agree with the upstairs lady, boys may carry more "stress" than girls as an adult. However, how can a mom expect your son suddenly "mature" after he turn 18? He needs to practice the skills and prepare before he turn 18. He need to build his self confidence and courage to face the life independently. When he still have chance to have parent supervision, this is a good time to practice.
