I like how the two things most prominently displayed in that picture are my butt and Mike’s crotch.
Speaking of which, my back yard is HUGE. :(

That looks very safe. I’m sure Mom’s going to love this picture.

Thankfully, mom is in Cape Cod (land of no internet) and will likely not see this for another week or so. And by then, it will be far too late. bwa ha ha

Those would be the most prominent things to human eyes. To arboreal eyes, I’d bet they’d be screaming, “DEAD COUSINS EVERYWHERE!”

Good plan. You’re good at the hiding-info-until-its-too-late. Like when you didn’t tell mom you went sky-diving until afterward. Good move.

I’m guessing the Building Inspector of Meriden has not seen this.

I’m guessing, Ted, that you like your kneecaps where they are? I don’t think the building inspector needs to hear about this…do you (metal pipe in hand)?

Seriously, though, our hope is to get the plywood up post haste, so as to cover up our possibly sub-par support system.
Of course, it’s hard when the stuff you’re building off of is poorly built.
