The Fort (Started Sept 20)

Happiness is helping your dad build a really cool fort!




Trent has been promised a FORT in the backyard for quite some time. So when I was on a girl's weekend in September, Todd started work on the promised play place. The structure was started and has been worked on every spare minute here and there to try and make progress. Todd even took a day off work and got the roof framed and shingles on before it got too dark (and we ran out of shingles.) Now it just needs a railing around the sides and a ladder to climb in. Todd has tons of work conflicts and the rain has started, so completion of the project is unsure. But it is still making one 8 year old boy very happy and is drawing the attention of all the neighborhood kids. I will post a picture when it is all done. Hopefully soon. As you all know, projects like this take longer than you think, and cost more than you plan. But it is worth it!
