Tree House Chronicles

Over the weekend Mom made some more progress on the tree house, with a bit of help from Corwin.

  • Braces around the bottom to stiffen it up
  • Braces at the top next to the trunk to keep the tree house steadier and protect the tree
  • A fastened rope ladder that doesn’t tilt under when climbed
  • Two upright planks as a start on the railing, with rope loops for grabbing to make getting up easier.

As a result of these improvements, Mom let Alice go up for the first time. Even I went up for the first time since there was a floor.
