| Homemade slingshot |
Yesterday I made a slingshot so we could experiment with paintballs. My boys have their hearts set with splattering Bessie with their favorite color, red and blue respectively. I plan to seal it in with poly because paintballs are water based.

| Test shots. Works like a dream! |

| Experimented with throwing vs. slingshot. Slingshot gave best even splatter. |
The slingshot worked better than I had ever dreamed it would! Not too much membrane was left behind. Easy enough to pick out when the time comes. I will probably experiment on a piece of cardboard with our base paint, paintball splatter, and poly on top to see if I can really pull it off. It will be so cool if it works. Backup plan is to use short bursts of paint with a paint gun. The boys are not excited about that prospect.

| Looks like Bessie got attacked by bugs. |

| Hardboard going up on walls. |
We got most of the walls up today. The only parts we didn't put up is where we will have to get creative with some insulation installation. There is a slope that we need to navigate over. Thinking of a few layers of 1/4" rigid foam with liquid nails holding it all together.

| Most of the walls done and one ceiling piece. |
The first ceiling piece went up but then it was time to quit for the day. We will work again Sunday if we don't have time before.
