I installed the slide permanently and added two 4x4's and a safety rail across the opening. I also put up two 4x4's along the ladder opening. Ludi came over and helped me get the 2 pieces of plywood sheathing up on top of the rafters and held it in place while I nailed it to the rafters. Thanks Ludi! Now I just need to lay some shingles.

Just a few weekends away from the grand opening. I installed the ladder permanently and installed the back window. I also cut all of the birds-mouth cuts in the rafters, so they are ready to go up. The slide was delivered today and the kids love it. Super fast. Julia's legs hurt tonight because she went up and down the ladder so many times. The plywood sheathing for the roof should go up on Sunday (with Ludi's help), and then it's just down to the shingles before it's fully operational (then I'll have the door and trim to do).
