Ya know that fort I've been wanting to build since like before October? Well, it's finally almost done.

I like SO built it myself, lol. You should come over and play in it with me. It's constructed out of $100 worth of discounted wood plus like a bunch of stuff I found out behind the barn lol. It's really safe... trust me.

The fort that Q built

It's not done yet though... I still need to put a roof on it, as well as a few more pieces of railing. Then eventually I may paint it, but my budget is dried up, so that may have to wait a bit yet...

If you look at the slanted red thing, it's actually railing on it's side/angled. It was Cyndi's idea to use as a ladder. I really liked the notion of it, and the slant gives something easy to climb, and reduces the risk of outright falling...

Looks good! I daresay it beat what I grew up with as a kid... we had a slide that was missing important pieces, and when one tried to go down it it would slide off the bolting and send you plummeting backwards, (though I must say it provided for more than it's share of pranks over the years).

We had a complete swingset, and a decent jungle gym... that is, till the neighbors tree killed both in one storm.

Fort wise, we had a particle board box that lasted for almost a complete summer. I forget what the box/crate was for, but I remember the spray paint fumes, lol...

I'm working on a slide... and maybe a swing, but likely not till I earn some more cash.

I know you and the grandkids are going to have a BLAST with the fort this summer! Perrin already LOVES it and as usual, has no fear. It will be fun for you and Lakota to camp out in there as well.

You did a great job and those 3 kids are so lucky to have a Papaw like you!

I look forward to today as it'll be nice. I think I'll sit on the upper level and watch Perrin play.

Lakota will be ungrounded soon, so YAY for that, though, heh, too bad she broke her arm helping me build it ;) :P

I think I'll request Devin for a few hours one weekend...

I also look forward to the next family gathering where I can play with all three kids on it at once!

Though, it still needs a little work, but that'll get done, and likely soon!
