The mother of all tree houses

[Pete]

Is nearing completion. The deck is down, the railing is up, the enclosure is almost finished, the rope ladder is hung, trap door all fixed, the kids are doing the Charlie Brown dance.

This has been a huge project but to see the goober children giddy with excitement, up and down the ladder, grinning form ear to ear makes it worth it.

But we need pics!

I will as soon as I figure out a roof. I have to go around a double tree trunk. It is a monster

I did take a pic of a deer standing out there this morning but it was too fuzzy. It was cool.

The rope ladder was what they requested. It looks way cool but it is not exactly practical When they climb it they swing under and it is a biatch to climb up. We are going to anchor the bottom end with stakes so it doesn't swing. It will still be a rope ladder but you will not be able to pull it up to prevent cootie infected girls from getting in.

Good. Some of us "girls" may want to come visit them.
