Something fishy going on here. wink Okay, first there's this thread started last spring. Then earlier this spring there is a "What should I plant" thread. Now I'm seeing expansive views of said planted fields from the window (shooting port). Me thinks we are looking at a world class tree fort (blind), over-looking PWM's (Old Man Shaw's) kingdom (food plot). grin

A few construction suggestions:

Large skylights such as those are hard to keep water tight.

The boy is going to need a quick get-a-away in case the Bat Signal is shown or mom calls for supper. I'm thinking 2" jute rope.

Gonna need a haul line with milk crate too. Helps to bring up important items needed to complete the missions - flashlights, telescopes, walkie-talkies, and P,B, & J sammiches.

Obviously, you'll have to run it by the project manager and get a change work order.

Good luck and can't wait to see the finished product.

I am...... what's that word the millennials use?

"offended!"



I'll have you know I planted deer repelling trees down there in that new yard area.

One is a "norland" and one is a "prairie magic" both produce deer replant orbs.





Something clever here.

Them Minny-Sota folks got some fancy outhouses! I've seen regular houses that don't look that nice!

Does your son recognize how lucky he hit it in the Dad lottery?

You need one of those 500 yard bean field type riffles.....just in case.

Very Very Nice.

Add a little heater of some sort and spend time there in the winter too.


How fun for your son.


Great job on the tree house. Even better job working, teaching, and spending quality time with your son.

A life of great memories.

It's been busy around home here between landscaping, planting apple trees, pine trees, birch trees. Pam and Nathan planted around 60 little bare root hybrid poplar trees yesterday (not in the new yard, we are using them on a property line.)

We are getting ready for my oldest son Nathan's graduation party too.

We got the "ridge beam" installed in the tree fort last night. Maybe some rafters and roof tin tonight.

Still trying to run a business from home here too so the extra little projects like this are weekends and evenings.

We have lots of company coming at the end of the week, lots of them staying through the weekend. Mr tree fort would really like to have his sky compound functional for a sleepover with his cousin (the boys are same age, play really well, good buddies)
