   Cool!

   As kids, my friends and I had many tree and ground forts built with scrap lumber scavenged from housing construction projects. The most impressive was a vertical arrangment of many compartments, or stories. I can’t remember exactly how many, but it was at least seven. Some of the adults in our neighbourhood eventually became concerned about its structural safety and removed the top parts, leaving a three story fort.

   What are you going to use the tree fort for? Is it a good spot for bird or wildlife observation?

    We had a few different tree forts growing up- in La Porte, CA where my Grandparents’ cabin was- and still stands to this day. One, I remember, was built by my cousins and it was really high up- the only way you could get up there was by rope. Have fun, dude!

    Eppie: right on. The bucket is very helpful for hauling stuff up, so your hands can be free when climbing.

    Azulina: heh… I’m trying to regress.

    Cat-Fake: very Pooh of you…

    Alieness: yup. but that "Tinkerbell" is 6’5" tall =)

    Cat-hunter & Vanita: go for it!
