Building a treehouse - week 3
Started this project thinking it would take a weekend. We're on week 3 with about 5 more to go probably. I've learned a lot about structural integrity and also that my 7 year old is way more useful than I expected. He's been measuring, holding boards, helping me figure out angles. The treehouse isn't perfect and probably won't be done until fall but the real win is the time with him in the yard every Saturday. Plus my wife finally gets her Saturdays back to herself which is worth it alone.
The treehouse dreams are real but so is the timeline adjustment. At least you get quality time with your kid working on it. That's worth more than finishing on schedule anyway.
