Serious Fort

The rules of the fort: 1. No shoes 2. No dirty clothes with mud 3. No breaking it. Underneath the rules, is the guest list. You have to sign in if you want to climb in.

I climbed in for a visit and he gave me the tour. The flashlight, he explained, was his emergency backup light. I got a step by step story of how the bottom bunk bed became this serious fort.

Here, he's showing Eric the list of visitors that had signed up to visit the fort. Their names are on the little papers. You can see his touch light on the wall and a makeshift light taped to the ceiling made from plastic pipe with an LCD pen light attached to light it up like a fluorescent tube.

The proud builder. Love you Michael.
