New Net!

I had this idea when I designed the house to somehow have a tunnel, net, or some type of platform in our secret passage. I have sat in that little hallway for hours over the past 18 months thinking and analyzing every possible option trying to come up with something fun. I ran across the concept of a hammock floor a while ago and filed it away in my brain as a possibility for this space. I finally decided it was time to make something happen and decided on the hammock floor. I found a net on Amazon then starting thinking through all the different ways I could install it. I had the idea to pull the net down through the 2x4's and attach it to screws underneath. It took me a couple of hours and I and to enlist Brayden and Fernando's help to hold the boards so I could screw them to the wall but it worked! I used a neighbor's miter saw and he offered to come over and inspect my work to be sure it would hold. He helped me upgrade my screws so it was solid and just like that we have a fun cargo net! The girls love hanging out in that space and are always playing on it now! It's hard to see in the pics but it wraps around the corner and ends at the 2nd floor of the playhouse so they can climb in and out of playhouse that way.
