Day 188

Sunday, July 7, 2013

I have the fort part almost done. (All photos by Nikon Coolpix P7100)   I got Toots’ rock wall up.  She helped! Lugnut’s door is on, with only minor major trouble.  I got the side pieces bolted to the wrong side of those short cross pieces you can see on each side of the door.  The […]

Day 187

More Construction… Here is the “door” between the roof covered area and the open deck.  The little side panels are a nice touch. (All photos by Nikon Coolpix P7100) I forgot to take roof photos while I was putting it up. Here is the underside of the roof, with a bit of the topside. It […]

Day 186: More playset…

Sunday, July 7, 2013

I have slowly been continuing to put together the playset.  I got some of the upstairs sides on.  And the ladder. (All photos Nikon Coolpix P7100) Not to mention those nifty green handrails! Behind this wall will lurk the swing set part of this construction. And a general view of the whole thing.  The swings […]

Day 184: Happy Independence Day!

Friday, July 5, 2013

“This was the object of the Declaration of Independence. Not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of, not merely to say things which had never been said before; but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent, […]

Day 180

Saturday, June 29, 2013

More construction… The next working day I started by putting the upper decking on. Just longer, thicker slats! “We have an unauthorized worker ont he construction site!” He seems willing to work, though… We had the old apple tree removed, and here is the destination, behind the Mountain Ash tree. Dailylife Daughter #1 helped me […]

Day 179

Friday, June 28, 2013

Continuing with the great playhouse saga, the next day I started putting on slats. (All photosNikon P7100) These slates form the three walls on the playhouse part.  That door is the fourth. And of course they all have to be screwed in, with four screws each!  Each board is numbered for its place in the […]
