so my Granddaughter wanted a treehouse...

but with the way trees fall around here in storms I wasn't to keen on placing her in the boughs. So a treeless treehouse it would be.

Since I chose to compromise it had to be something REAL special so I decided to go pirate ship.

Now just not any pirate ship would work, it needs to be a wrecked ship (bow broken from stern).

Complete with climbing wall

and suspension bridge.

This is where I am so far. I still need to plank the bottom parts, make doors, the kids will walk the plank to the slide and swings will be on the broken over mast.

Very nice, I also have a build a "tree"-house without the trees for my son!

The ladder is gone and we have solid stairs now.

nice job! I can't show this to my kids, they'll want one.....currently looking at these big swing sets, can't believe they're so expensive. How long did this take to build?

... How long did this take to build?

Off and on over the last month as time permitted.
Until I made the climbing deck and bridge this weekend she thought it was a shed.
...I don't think she believes that anymore though.
