Shed... Down. Fort... Down. Next......

Over the course of 2 or 3 weeks, we have knocked... or rather destroyed our old shed, and a 12' tall fort we play in (and it also acts as a storage space). In the place of it, we are going to build a 16 x 24 x 14 feet, as well as 2 stories. It will take a while, a month at the least.
We have filled and disposed at least 5 trailer- loads of wood. Our trailer is about 7 x 5 feet. and we stacked each load at least 5 1/2 to 6 feet. We didn't save much wood. The person who built the old shed was a bad designer. he made the roof in a way in which the wood rotted through. And he pretty much used tacks to hold the walls up. It was easy to destroy. The floor, well, it was made of bricks about 5" thick and 1' long. It was very poorly designed.
The fort, well, that was more difficult to tear down. It took us at least 7 hours to tear it down. It took us 2 days. We built it 2 years ago, and it was well built. And the stuff was heavy! My dad just took an electric saw, and went through it all. I thought it was kind of fun. [Random note: our fort is as tall as a polar bear on its haunches. This animal can get to be 11 1/2' tall when upright.]
I have very few pictures right now, but I will get some later. Probably Monday.
What else is going on? Well, my mother and Ethan were sick over the week. It made for some short schoolwork. On Friday, we got a new tape-player, except it isn't a tape player. It plays Ipods and Mp3-players. It is almost all a speaker, except for a cord which connects to the player. It is smaller than a CD, and still quite powerful.
