I added a bucket on a pulley to the boys tree fort a week or two ago.

I wondered about adding anything when they have not really been using it much but I always wanted a tree house with a bucket on a pulley…

They actually figured out that they could just hang out up there(something they usually do on the ground) and stayed up in the fort for a while.

My oldest wanted to haul things in the bucket over and over but my youngest thought going up the climbing wall over and over was too tiring.

They are so different.

I bought the pulley set at Harbor Freight.

It is has three pulley’s and is made for a lot of weight.

Since I do not really want my boys lifting 100+ pounds with it and the lines kept twisting, I redid it so the rope is only using one pulley.

I am glad my husband was around to suggest that!

I thought I would need to buy a different pulley…

HA!

It was not long before my oldest told his little brother to get in the bucket and he would haul him up…

I am glad I stayed outside so I could veto that action and make sure they understood that people were not to be hauled up!

Boys…
