Built a treehouse with my kids over 6 weekends

Just finished our backyard treehouse project and the kids are obsessed. We used mostly scrap wood I had lying around and some new 2x8s. My 11yo helped with the drill, my 8yo did all the painting. Cost about $400 total and took way longer than I thought but honestly best money and time I've spent all year. They're in it right now as I type this. Highly recommend if you've got time and basic tools.

The fact that you used scrap wood makes it even cooler. Shows them that you don't need fancy stuff to create something awesome. Plus they helped build it so it means way more to them than if you just hired someone.
How did you keep them engaged for six whole weekends? My kids usually tap out after about 20 minutes. Did you break it into smaller chunks or do they have the patience for longer projects?
