Then in preparation for what became Project #3 we had to tear down our old shed and build another one in a different location. Believe it or not, it was the shingling that took the most time - because my brothers left that up to us! It took us a couple weeks to get at it; they would have had it done in 10 minutes!
Moving on to Project #3 - a play structure for the boys. A ship. Quite ambitious, I agree, but it was made possible by my brothers who were more then willing to help build it. Barely even a challenge for them since they started building forts as soon as they were old enough to swing a hammer. Their forts consisted of multiple rooms, sky-walks, underground tunnels and trap doors. No lack of imagination there!! We started building the ship a few weeks ago, and put the last coat of stain on last week. Just need to add glass for the port holes and my brothers want to add a trap door. It turned out great! My boys love it! We got the pattern from Creative Homeowers - Ultimate Guide to Kid's Play Structures and Tree Houses.
