Christopher + Clint's Tree Fort

Christopher and Clint started building a tree fort 3 - 4 years ago.  Pretty much each year they add something on.  It started out as half the size - where the top meets cut in half.  When they started it was pretty much a floor - no walls or anything.  They put some walls but my Mom had them take it off because it was so ugly - you could see it from the road.  Then, Reid and Clint put some walls up and then Reid helped them make a roof for the first half.  They then made the layout chair on the tree that was part of the tree house, with the help of Blayne.  Then, after a while, they got some wood from my Dad and they made a floor, walls, and a roof for the second half with a little of my Dad's help.  Just recently, they tarred and shingled both sides of the roof.

The rope ladder that goes to the inside of the fort.  It is in the middle of the two sides and they have a cover for the door.


Christopher's homemade shelf.


A closer view of the fort.  The railing for the layout chair is to the left of the fort.

Thanks for looking - If you come over feel free to ask to see it in person:) 

Love and God's Peace,
