Building a Tree House- Phase 4

Sorry for the lack of updates on the blog!  August was a busy month between family vacations and then preparing for back to school.  But we've gotten a few things done around the house in between all that!

Here's the latest on the tree house... 

The roof is almost done- Mike put up the plywood and tar papered it.  Now we just need to do the shingles.

Rope entrance is complete- We got a nice gauge rope for the boys to climb up and down.  Mike knotted it at intervals to make it easier for them.

Here are photos of the inside:

This is the "rope entrance"

This is the "ladder entrance"

Now we're working on the crows nest entrance... you can sort of see it here:

We're taking down those boards on the tree in the foreground, and replacing them with new.  

The boys will have a little bridge going from the tree house out to a little stand within that tree on the right.  We've ordered cargo netting for the sides of the bridge.  

I'm hoping we'll have it totally done in the next week or two!
