Back on our Feet.

Today we arrived normally to school ate breakfast, and as we were leaving ran into Brad who managed to help motivate us enough to get back on our feet. We solved yesterday's problem's by deciding to cut a smaller and more easily accessible hole in our original entrance, the top of the triangle floor, and decided to fill in the side missing a post with extra wall board. Brad really helped us out by giving us one more sheet of the same plywood which then made 5 sheets giving us enough to surround each wall and have enough to cut extra to fill in open slots. We decided that Lizzie's first mural will go on the back, smallest wall where it can be viewed front and center. The plan is for her to paint one more mural which will be on the left side facing the entrance and the opposite walls will be painted something quick and easy so we can have them up in time at the end of the week. We cut all the wall boards to length and width, then laid them across to see how everything fit. It was crazy to see how fast you can make something look much more improved. After the walls were laid out and the entrance fixed and ready, we moved the problem wall framing posts around to better spots for maximum support. We made a wall connecting where the two walls meet at the top of the triangle in front of the tree, it was just scrap wood screwed to the frame posts. After all this work tomorrow we will make the ladder and set up the pulley system and by thursday we'll have the first mural up and the hand rails installed all around the frame.
