keaton, bradley and chris mixing the cement for the piers. okay-how many "clubhouses" have cement piers?...not that i'm complaining-i'm not-i think its incredible and exciting for our kiddos, but this is being built by my contractor father-in-law, so it is going to be more like a home....
next, the shell of the clubhouse went up, and keaton thought the kids would enjoy having their own front porch. the kids have been really great builders-helping keaton, they get more excited each day that they work and see it coming together. the day after these pictures were taken we dug a trench across the back yard to run electric lines from our house to the clubhouse...and then chris installed some great light fixtures that look like they belong in a cabin....let there be light!...
the construction sight!
chris and bradley climbed up and shingled the roof (after they put down felt paper so it is completely waterproof), chris stained the ceiling so it looks like exposed beams in a cabin, and we picked out some great panelling for the walls and they finished the front porch and chris installed lights on the front porch. the kids are so excited and it is really turning out to be an awesome clubhouse! keaton has placed an order for the windows and we're picking out stain and paint for the outside, chris has his eyes on air conditioning window units(just so the kids don't get to hot)hahahaha! more to come......
