Since coming home from our trip, Ray has been working on building the frame for the wall tent, which has been nicknamed Fort Awesome. It is coming along quite nicely. He is getting the upright structure in place and is then going to turn his attention to the floor. We can't get away over Labor Day, but our plan is to take it up the following weekend. Right now, we are prefabricating the pieces at home. Then we can take everything out to the site and assemble it there. There is no power at Camp right now, so any refinements will have to be done by hand. Eventually, we are looking into getting a generator to run the power tools for the "real" construction, but for now this seems like the easiest solution. This also allows Ray to putter on the frame during the evenings after work. Part of the intent of Camp Freedom was to give Ray a project to work on and he seems very happy out in his workshop. Now that the tent is standing up, it can be seen from over our fence. When people ask us what it is, we tell them it's our vacation home. Now all we need to do is get it in the right yard!

There should be at least one circus party before Fort Awesome gets moved.
ReplyDeleteIf you need to book entertainment -- I recommend this act: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM-KQxgtOao
That act made me sad. I think actually our Labor Day bbq is going to be held in there, our guests just don't know it yet.
