All doors open645 viewsThe garage door rolls up just like a real door. The Power Wheels jeep fits inside with plenty of play-room, and he can always back it out for more space, just like daddy does with the real garage!

First post goes up639 viewsOur first task was to remove the small straight railing separating the stairway from the upper level. We then installed the newel post and half-newel which supports the new oak railing. To the left, you can see the newel post in place-- the yellow device is a post level.

Brush cleared631 views...after we cleared out all the brush. This pic was taken after we took out enough brush to "prove the concept" that the garage could really go here. We later cleaned it up even more before we put the building in place.

Rock Wall626 viewsOn the back of the playground is the 7' rock wall. After this picture was taken we added a knotted rope to aid in the climb. William will have to grow into this one a bit.

Small side rail completed616 viewsThe completed small railing, sans finishing. To get to this point, we cut each baluster to the proper length, glued it into position, and tacked it into place with a pneumatic brad nailer. Then, small "fillet" strips are cut to length and fit in the upper and lower rails, giving it a finished look. Rail spacing is carefully governed by code: a 4" sphere must not pass between any point on the finished railing. This required a bit of math and careful calculations, since the spindles are tapered.
