New Project at the Perry House

Alex has decided to start a new project at the Perry house. A clubhouse for the kids!! I'm probably just as excited as the kids because we had a clubhouse briefly as kids and I loved that house. I thought it was the coolest thing ever and can't wait for our kids to have theirs to play in.

Last night, Alex got the floor done with the help of his friend, Jason, and this morning he and the kids started framing it. Ashton and Maddie were so excited to be getting to help and thought they were cool stuff. They all had their own hammers and Alex did good at finding little things to let them help and feel like they were really doing something.
Maddie is going to town hammering in nails in a scrap piece of wood.
Ashton is helping Dad to measure out where the front windows and the door are going to go, while Maddie is still working on her nails.
Ashton is helping to drive the nails in to hold the back wall down to the floor. He is really big stuff. He thinks he can build anything now! :-)

And here is where they are at the end of day one! I am pretty impressed. Tomorrow's project is to get the roof on and start on the outside walls IF the weather permits.
