Our DIY Dad

It's Dad's special day and he's decided to get the whole family involved building a treehouse in the back garden.

What a very busy day it's going to be ...

First stop is the hardware shop to fill the ute with all the necessities; planks of wood, rivets, rope etc. Then it's time to start building! Starting with the supports, then the floor, ceiling, trapdoor, and everything a treehouse needs before topping it off with a rope ladder leading up from the ground. Admiring their creation at the end of the day, the entire family is exhausted, so Mum suggests they stay where they are and sleep up amongst the branches.
