As a kid we built everything for tree houses, bad forts, underground hideouts, go carts and model cars. In my youthful day it was cars and motorcycles. As a young married man it was remodeled our first home (it was a condemned Victoria farm house), wood working and a few cars and trucks. Now I build new flower beds, stone walls and some wood crafted items. I build a large swing out of pallets, two weeks ago its great for the grand kids to play on but uncomfortable as hell to set on… I will burn it this fall.. didn’t work out like I expected.

What the latest or most proud item that you have built?

So you build underground hideouts to hide all your prisoners?
