The first step


Bob got back home and had barely put his suitcases down before the boys tasked him with their newest and grandest project - a large scale tree house for the back yard. Fortunately, Barb and Tom came to town and with them a rental minivan making it a bit easier to go to Home Depot and purchase all that is needed for Phase 1.
This has been an active project for a while. First the boys had to draw up the plans, and after a first review by Building Inspector and Permit Provider Bob, they refined the plans. Next they spent countless hours at Home Depot calculating the cost of materials and comparison shopping to minimize the expenses. Most of this work was done while Bob was gone, so needless to say Lukas and Noah were really ready to get to work... all that planning is hard, not so much fun and tedious.
So far there are four posts in the ground, dug down deep for structural support. Stay tune for updates and expected Grand Opening Date!
