still Working on it----2

We have almost completed the bridge and Tim has been working on the roof of the main tower. I have also almost completed the gangplank. we still need to make some windows in the main tower and the bridge will have small windows like they would have on the tower of a castle.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and we will be updating the pictures soon.

Still Working on it---

Well my brother Tim is in town for 2 weeks and is really excited about " using his hands" so I am going to put him to work on the fort. Yesterday he helped hang the door (I would have had a really hard time with it) and we put up the siding on the back and upper story. Here are some pictures of it.

the new addition...a Fort.

So Liam my son wants a fort for the backyard. I have looked at different forts and playgrounds at the local places but wasn't happy with them. So I scoured the net and came this website : http://www.barbarabutler.com/product/play%20forts/1102695689.html


I kinda went a little crazy and have taken on the project of trying to copy this:
















So this is where I am at with our little project:



We are very excited about this and the boys are just going crazy over it. There will be a slide a couple swings cargo net rock climbing wall and bridge going over to the far corner where there will be a tower with a ladder. The slide is going to come off of this tower. We are also going to be putting in a sandbox for the boys. There will be a roof put on the main tower and i think it will extend over to the smaller tower. This will cast some shade over the sand box.

Also I had to take about 3 hours out of my schedule today to go to the walk-in clinic to have Elliott's finger stitched up (3 stitches). the cordless drill slipped and Elliott just happend to put his hand next to the screw at the same time. It wasn't a very good combination.

"New" Backyard

What fun it is to have a backyard. Before we (I) did all the work to the backyard it was a dirt patch. It was very dirty and hot. Did I mention how hot it is. Anyway here I am going to talk about the different projects in our back (and Front) yards.

We are planning on planting a vegi garden and a play-set for the kids. I am planning on getting the plans...(already have the plans for sets from Home Depot) and building one of my own.
