My Parents wanted a warped wall for the preparedness fair....So they asked Derek to help. It took like 8 hours!!!
 |
| The beginnings stages.... |
 |
| Starting to take shape |
 |
| They kept building and building! |
 |
| From the top of the warped wall view |
 |
| They had to lift it up and prop it on a barrel to drill in the back areas |
 |
| We had to stand on the boards to get them to bow so they could screw it down...it was pretty freaky! I thought it was going to break a couple of times. |
 |
| Getting the the bottom side presented a bit challenge because they kept sliding down and couldn't get a lot of pressure on the drill. |
 |
| Sawing the excess wood off the sides |
 |
| They started to lift it up and had to shimmy barrels on either side to get it to now fall back down. |
 |
| using the tractor on the other end, they slowly stood it up. It was scary at the tipping point. We thought it might come back down and break! |
 |
| Almost there!!! |
 |
| They ran up it over and over again. Derek was so tired, he couldn't get up the 14 foot side. He got some nasty bruises trying though! |
 |
| All of Sunday, he thought about it...and by Monday he was determined to do it. So as soon as he was off work we went over there and he made it up after a half dozen tries or so. |
 |
| During the building process, Mykay made a new friend with the angle statue |
 |
| Funny little guy! |
 |
| And he took a nap outside under the canopy |
 |
| After the fair they brought it to my Mom and Dads house and they can run up it all the time! |

Derek leaned over the edge to catch their hands as they ran up as far as they could. They were pretty proud of themselves! Bia just climbed up the ladder ;-) She will get it some day!
