Building A Climbing Wall - Day 3

Well, it took a while to get some more materials and some time to work on the tower, but today was the day. A quick run to the lumber yard and I had almost everything I needed to really get some work done.  With the help of my friend Kris, we were able to finish off the second platform, the third platform and the supports for what may or may not be the fourth platform.  We also placed the angled beams that will be the first wall.  This one is intended to be the "easy" wall with each subsequent wall being a little steeper.  I need a couple more 5/4 deck boards and then to actually order the climbing holds.

The general concensus is that the space under each wall will be as much fun as the wall itself.  My girls, Piper and Lily, and Kris' and Charity's daughter, Willow, had a blast climbing on it today even as we were building.

Stay tuned...
