Spring Break: The tree house

As I (Abby) said in an earlier post, this year's Spring Break Project is to build a tree house in the back yard woods. 100_8168

This is the wood that we got from the Harper's farm.

Jesse and Daddy select and cut it.

Then they fixed the four main boards to the tree.

A few more boards and we have a scaffolding.

Ooo! An artsy shot!

And now they have added more structural support from below.

Another artsy shot!

And we have a complete platform and ladder!

Now we just have to add walls and a roof! (Easier said than done, of course.)

AND NOW: a few random pictures from the week!

This is a cool picture of a Carpenter bee. Jack found it buzzing around on our deck, a popular place for the bees to burrow their nests in the wood.

And Frisky trying on a cool pair of shades!
