The Greatest Erection

Well ladies and gentlemen, it took four long, grueling, 10 hour days but it is finally up!!

I present to you, one beam:




Anticlimactic right?
Yeah. We though so too. 

Unfortunately things took much longer than expected and we learned first hand that Murphy’s law is a real thing. 



Everything that could have gone wrong absolutely did, but we learned a lot. Like there is a lot of editing and movie magic that goes into one episode of tree house masters (spoiler alert: those houses aren’t built in a day!)

In reality we really did learn a lot and think the second side will go up much faster. Much to Ma’s dismay it is back to work this week so it will have to stay just like it is for now. Us guys who did it don’t mind. We were so worn out and frustrated by the end of it that when we finally got it up we had a Kate And Leopold moment and all stood back admiring our “Great Erection”. 



We will spend tomorrow finishing up a few other projects, making pizzas, and spending time as a family enjoying the lake in all it’s beauty. 

Here are a few pictures of the last few days work:


Leo didn't want to leave the construction area!

They couldn't pick the triangle up because it was too heavy, so they tried to prop it up and use other logs to lean it up!
