The Fort




So by now you know our house is very strange. One of the biggest oddities is a room on the back of the addition. It is about three feet deep and 18 feet long with 11 foot ceilings. It has no access from inside. I think it was built for garden storage. We decided it would make a good fort. Here it is pre-construction.














Bringing up the heavy lumber.






I even got in on the act. Catherine was amazed that I knew how to use a hammer. I think the quote was, "Whoa, YOU know how to do that!"






Aaron was pretty happy when the first floor (about two feet off the ground) was finished.






He was even more excited about the second story. It is like a loft, an adult can sit up there comfortably.

The ladder and railing are the next steps, but for now they get up there with dad power.
