The Reveal

And finally, this:

 

I wish I had taken more close-ups so you could see the details, but we finished just in time for James’ party (of course ) and it was the hottest day of the year (105 – also of course) yesterday so I spent most of my time either inside or finding shade, not maximizing my picture taking opportunities. More about the party tomorrow.

Description wise, there’s monkey bars darren made out of pipe, a ladder from Ikea that one can take to the roof (although that was off limits for the party), a chalkboard painted floor (I told you you wouldn’t want me to lay tile for you!), a rock wall with rope (the rope actually seems to make it harder for James? Go figure.), and a shield on the door with a J and a kitty painted on it. The rock wall can be covered with a sheet for projected movies (we don’t actually own a projector, but might be able to borrow one).

Still planned are a flag pole with a banner on top (Darren’s idea) and a fireman’s pole (made from a pole take from the trampoline -James’ idea). But what fort is not a continual work in progress?
