No, they are not the same. They are cousins-in-law, once removed, I think. They both are beautiful young ladies. I like your sail idea. I'll have to run it by son and see what he can do with it. He already has a soft bag swing in a tree on the steep hill so when one swings it goes out over the creek pretty high.

Re: Pat_B
A zipline would be a lot of fun, but that's not it. He's always managed his haybales some other way. I think with a trailer pulled by his riding lawnmower. He's pretty strong.

Re: Naut
He likes his BBQing on the patio up near the back of the house. His patio is very big, two levels and he sets up tables and chairs there and he has a special table he sets up in case guests bring dishes like salads and desserts, which they always do.

Well Taps if that is the same young lady without make up, she is a beaut.
I think son is going to make a sail and when it is hauled up it will move in the wind, no I don't think that's plausible. Perhaps he is going to haul some large sacks with soft filling for the kids to swing on or attack with wooden swords. Any booby prizes going?

Maybe a zipline... Or maybe he's lifting hay bales...
They're certainly made well. "workmanlike" is the operative word.

How about a platform for a BBQ, that allows the thing to be raised to keep it out of the way when it's not being used...

Re: Naut
You are a good guesser and as close as anyone has come so far.

Re: Kabu
Here you go. I think you were thinking of a Zipline 
That would be really fun, but it is a wrong guess.

Pulleys, block and tackle - any sailor knows these devices intimately. But I don't think we are talking about sailing here, but rather some landlocked activity...But why four of them? It suggests a four-cornered thing of some sort, maybe a a house in the trees gently swaying in the winds, to be let down when it is to be entered and then raised, where kids and even adults can relax and read among the leaves...

You have such a wonderful family, full of your love, the blocks are for acrobatics between the trees for Grandson Phil to watch.

I am greatful that no one around here seemed to know about the naked Gardening day...and the thingaby that son # 3 is building will be those things that kids hang onto and either go down hill or from tree to tree. I know what I mean, just cannot put it into the right words.

I did not know that it was World Naked Gardening Day. As the old saying goes, we learn something new every day.
