Caroline asked for it first with a picture entitled "My Dream Treehouse" which she gave to me on Saturday. So, Jackson and I headed to Home Depot. I love my kids and I love to crank up any kind of saw.
Today was Day 1.
Caroline: "Thank you Daddy. It's gonna be awesome!"
Turner: "THAT'S gonna be a treehouse?"
Jackson: "No way I'm going up there."
INJURY REPORT:
Jackson was my leverage guy on the ground helping me hoist up each 2X6 with a rope. He says he has blisters.
Julie was a good fill-in leverage girl on the ground too (Jackson's patience eventually ran out). She says she has rope burn.
Greg got a good finger puncture from a nail. Nice and bloody.
Below are some Day 1 pics. Stay tuned for Day 2 probably Thursday or Friday.
That looks like great day 1 progress! Can't wait to see the end result!
ReplyDeleteOkay . . . let's not tell people about this one . . . I don't need Kerry getting inspired to build treehouses. Proud of you, though.
ReplyDeleteJulie told me today that you were building a treehouse and I am so impressed!! I've heard that famous dancers sometimes insure their legs in case of injury. You should check into insuring your fingers before you go any further!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! I've thought before that it would be nice to give our kids one... but we don't have trees remotely big enough!
ReplyDeleteNice start! That's a GREAT looking tree for a treehouse. Be careful, though. Are you FB friends with Grant? He posted pics of his Labor Day chainsaw injury. Not a pretty sight.
