Prepping for the Skyfort


 We hired Cody with his backhoe to remove our final tree stumps and level the ground for our new Skyfort.

 Crusoe and Finn loved watching the excavation work.


 They also removed a few other stumps that were annoying to mow around.


 Finn, already admiring her new playground area.

 The Skyfort was packaged in 4 boxes, approx. 250lb. each.  When we told Finn this was her new playground that we were going to build, she sat on the uphill end of one box and pushed herself to slide down it, then proclaimed, "Whee!  I love my new playground."  We love her appreciative positivity.

 The site is ready!
Spreading hay over the grass seed

 Time to lay out the lumber

 Once we started, all meals were eaten at the work site to maximize efficiency.
 Building the foundation (this was the hardest part, in my opinion)

 Like mother, like daughter


 The foundation is in place, and we're ready to start construction!
