I intended to log the tree fort's progress, and I've been taking pics, but hadn't posted anything yet. So this is the quick catch-up...
|
Here's a sketch of what we're aiming for...just imagine a maple tree in the middle. |
|
April 9th: Ground has been broken and construction has begun. |
|
April 12th: The first three poles are in the ground with footings poured. |
|
Ack!--the hole ate my assistant! |
|
April 21st: All poles are in the ground and all 4 outer joists are secure. |
|
April 29th: Yes, a swing was functional for his birthday on the 27th. |
|
April 29th: All 4 top railings are secure and the swing header mounted. |
|
May 12th: We have the beginning of a deck...and a slide! |
|
|
|
May 16th: Vertical rails have started to appear. |
|
May 28th: A climbing wall!--now there's a way to get to the top of the slide! |
(Thanks to those who've helped so far with tools, ideas, & muscles!)
At this slow-n-steady rate,
she'll be ready in time for...
