So, after 30 years of never ownign a dog....I finally broke down and got a 10 week old Lab puppy for our kidz.

I figured I woudl get a dog when the kidz were old enoggh and I owned my own house....well, here she is...ALLIE, the new climbing buddy and all aroudn house dog for us

Here are the side view plans for a shed I am building..

Here is another section of my extended 25' of webbing to reach my anchor (phone pole).

Just behind the black buckle, I have the webbing wrapped thru the pre-sewn "rap-Ring" and laced back towards the carabiner, and then to the buckle as a tightener. So I guess that is giving me a 2:1 ratio on that end.

Here is a shot lookign down the length of my line. long way to the other end for a back-yard line

I Had to buy some more webbing to be able to tension my line to the Phone Pole 20' away from the end of my line.

OK, so I set up my line and it is a little too long and short fro my fat arse to walk, but my 3 YO who weighs in just over 40 lbs. loves to walk it.

Next summer, I am sure he will be wanting daddy to set it up more and play more.

Here was my original dilemha. I had the line streched the full length, and was still short of my final anchor by about 25'.

A quick webbing order later, I rigged it up, but it still took a bit. Still not tight enough for my to walk, but I will figure that out over teh winter.

OK, here is me, still tryign to get my line tight enough for my 180 lbs to walk on it....this was about 8 feet from my solid tree anchor...

When I finally did get it tight enough to walk a littel bit, I would 'zing" right off. I need to figuer out a way to shorten the line to make it more walkable.

Here is a shot of my solid anchor end. It is wrapped aroudn a tree about 5.5' up the base...

This is a shot of Hunter (lil_Cwboy) about a month ago, he would have been about 14-15 months old. We started using the large totes to store things in since he can't open them. Well he found out somethign else to do with them...CLIMB ON

Here I am trying to get Hunter to play on the wall with me. The only problem is that I left my shoes in the car and so I was tryign to hang on the wall with my big, clunky shoes.

I fell off quite a bit.

Daddy and Mommy took me out onto the wall for the first time today. This Cheap Hold Crack is pretty big and easy to grab onto.

How do I link this move to the next ones without mommy?

Mommy is trying to help me understand the route I am looking at.

OK, there might not be a real route...but I am studiny the wall pretty good and mom is looking at it with me.

This is a pic of me standing in front of the wall in the garage.

I am goign to try out this plastic shovel as a new Aid tool. Anyone think that will help?

Mommy is trying to show me how to do this. Hold on here, a foot goes there, now if I could only get that high without any help.

Here he is, only 1 year old and he is looking at the wall and tryign to tell me I need bigger holds lower for him.

I was tryign to tell him that if he can master the smaller ones down low, then he will be doing really well.

This is me, "climbing" into my activity center and then throwing out all my blocks so I can sit down. I am getting this climbing thing down fast. Watch out Sharma:)

As you can see by my "Major Heater"...I have to go out and start it about 20 minutes before I want to go and climb.

This stove is great...but it does take a little bit to heat the place up.

This is a shot I took while lying on my back looking up at the overhang and Ledge in my gym.

As you can see from the faily bare overhang...I have a bunch of T-nuts in the celing so I can eventually find enough of the right holds to make it the

This is a shot of the top half of my gym. You can see a little better some of the holds and angles I have in there.

I just got my new holds about 3 days ago. I put most up, but I still have about 20 more holds of all various types ot put up. looking good

This is another pic of me in Daddys gym. As you can see I still need a little help before I will be scaling the wall with him

Here is me peaking out from behind the really big rope. Still don't know how to use it, but I will learn

this is me hanging from the high point in my hom egym. This was just after I built it. Still lots of fun, I just need more holds now
