Your smart not halfassing it at all, i see you didnt skimp out on anything, good build bro.
i had one growing up as a very young boy and with two brothers around my age it was very awesome. it was bought and it eventually rotted after about 15 years of hardcore playing on it it had a rope hanging from the top that you could tie a tire and or a bucket to send things up. just and idea. after it strted getting unsafe and we got older around 11-15 we cut it in half and used the top story for our pet rottweiler to use as a house

GOOD JOB MAN your building memories and giving your kids a great thing.

Between Work, Family activities and working in the Shop on the weekends sometimes you just have to make time. I'm wore out, I still have to do the extension on my shop...

Still a little more to go before it is 100%. Now it is dried in so the boys can start playing in it while I finish. Pretty proud of my brother and myself for getting this done. We are not carpenters and we completed this without any plans. I had the idea of what I wanted and in the end it turned out how I wanted it to. It's not perfect but it's something my boys will enjoy for a long time.

I still have to do:
- Stairs
- Soffit on Porch
- Paint
