Hauled some more lumber and plywood up to the garage after church today. Put together the first of the two side walls. These are 6' high, and will hold up the low side of the roof. I decided to keep them simple, with just a 27" window in the center. Here is the first one completed.



Here's the back (inside) view.

I rolled it out to the treehouse on the dolly. Sounds easy right? Of course it is. Unless the wall weighs 60lb and is almost 8' wide. And it's downhill about 6'. And there are low spots on the grass. Nevertheless, I persevered and got it down to the treehouse where I placed it next to the ladder.


Then I began construction on wall #3.


5 Blue Angels jets flew by in formation just a little south, at 1:43PM. It was nice to at least catch a glimpse. Next year perhaps we'll go. After another hour, I had the second wall constructed, a duplicate of the first.



Now, it was time to haul it down to the treehouse... I paused to rest a moment and get a picture.


Now, I just have to figure out how I am going to get 300lb of walls up 10'...


More to follow.
