There has been a significant uptick in progress over the past two weeks, mostly because we are in crunch time with less than 10 days to the christening of The Becky's Revenge. My wife had to go out of the country for a little over a week for a school research project, so my parents were able to work out their schedules to come visit Little Dude and help out with this massive construction project. Luckily my Dad has previous playhouse construction experience (as well as countless other carpentry and woodworking projects,) so we have been able to kick it into high gear over the past couple of days. Also have to give a shout out to my mom as she has played the important role of toddler wrangler (which is not an easy job!) So far we have been able to complete the deck, get the port side of the hull attached and do some other minor clean-up work.
The Becky's Revenge weathered her first hurricane-strength storm this week with 70+ mph wind gusts!

"Whoa, Daddy, this is awesome!"
Over the next couple of days, we will be finishing the starboard side of the hull, working on the ship's railings and installing the stairs/ ramp. Wish us luck as we run out of time!
Stay tuned,
TWB
