Manland

This is Manland, as it as been named by the wife. The platform is 12'x12', made of reclaimed 4x4's recycled from large pallets. The siding is scrap from a shed making company next door. The roof is real from Lowe's. It sports four full sized bunks and a hammock for relaxing. As you can see from the approach photo it is well hidden in the center of our woods. It reminds me of the many tree forts I built as a boy except the gaps between the pieces of wood are smaller than those of the tree forts of my youth.
It was christened last week with a group of seven children and a bunch of hot dogs. We did a fire pit and BBQ'ed for dinner. I am trying to get a camp out down there before fall sets in.
The map shows a small square in the middle of the property, that is where Manland resides. We will continue to tweak the surrounding area to perfect the atmosphere and bring Manland to its full potential.
