One day me and my cousin were sitting and wondering what to do we were 10 and didn’t really know of anything to do. Then we got an idea to take the log pile and build a fort with 2 rooms. So we started rolling and stacking, we got an old handsaw from the barn and started cutting and stacking to make it as sealed from the wind as we could. In about 1 week we had built the rooms and had just got done putting a roof made of logs on top. So we decided to see if it was air and water tight so we could sit and stay dry when it rained and so it would be warm and dry in the winter so we could sit in there and play our Gameboys and play Pokémon together. So we went to the barn again and got a 10 gallon bucket and filled it about halfway …show more content…
The next step we did was opened the doors we had made out of logs and climbed inside of the fort and saw there were only 2 places were the water had leaked in so we patched it with bark and a smaller log and some board on the inside of the fort.

The for when we got completely done was camouflaged with the log pile perfectly and the doors did too, on the inside we had dug enough that it was almost 5 feet tall from floor to ceiling on the inside. And on the outside it only looked like it was 2 feet tall and it looked like one solid mass of logs. We used to spend all our time making stuff for us to use in our fort and we even carved tracks for our hot wheels on the
