You've Heard About Working Smart?

Those of us in the know have all been bemoaning the upcoming task of getting the wood for the treehouse from the closest spot you can drive a trailer to the building site. There is a lot of wood and it's pressure treated wood - that means it's heavy!! Going by way of the trail, it's 200-300 yards. You can cut that in half by going in a straight line - but that's through the underbrush, across the creek, and up the hill. I was on my way there this morning to begin working on it. I heard noises as I approached and it was Daniel, hacking a path - but not for carrying the wood. He was working on clearing a path for a zip line.

Leaving out quite a bit of detail, within an hour or so we had a zip line ready to carry the wood. We still had to load it, push it through the woods, and unload it. Daniel only did about 95% of the work but I was there to encourage him. At the end of the day all of the wood, except one piece, was at the treehouse site. (We left the last piece of wood for Alex cause he's really gonna enjoy zipping that through the woods, across the creek, and up the hill and he'll be even more appreciative of Daniel's execution of a really good idea that saved us all a lot of work!!) In the picture Daniel has two 16ft long deck boards ready to go!
