Day 9

First thing today - had to go and buy a new drill as I'd knackered the old one.  Went for a Bosch PSB 500RE - money well spent.  Got the rest of the railings up in a fraction of the time it took me to do the others last week.  I had a bit of decking left - so I also made a bench for the kids to sit on inside the treehouse.



With all the railings done - there was just one thing left to do - attach the slide.  My parents had bought the slide for Bobby's birthday present.  The instructions said to fit it with screws - but I wanted to be able to remove it easily when cutting the lawn - so I got some 100mm M6 coach bolts and wing nuts.




That's it pretty much done.  I'm still deciding whether or not to put doors on or felt the roof.  But for now - it's pretty much done.
