Project: Fort - Six More Weeks of Progress

It's been almost six weeks since the last fort posting.  A few things came up that pulled Paul away from working on the fort but now, except for a roof, it's finished!

 Paul cut out the front window and built the eaves on the front.
 
Next he cut out the second window and made the windowsills for both.

Now the boys like to enter and exit through the windows......

Paul engineered a trapdoor so that it doesn't slam shut on heads or little fingers.


We made a chalkboard for the boys from a piece of wood that was cut off the rock climbing wall.  And in this picture you can see the handles Paul added to help with climbing in from the rock wall.

 I finally got around to sewing the curtains that Gabriel wanted.  The Bear County Boys Club in a Berenstain Bears book have curtains so they were on his must-have list as well.




Next up:  the roof!
