Construction House

This was in a separate play area at the Aviation and Science Museum. It was so neat that it deserved it's own post.

Step 1: Load the wall pieces onto the belt, turn the crank and watch it go up the belt and fall into the cart...




Step 2: Wheel the cart around to the crane. Place the wall pieces into the frame on the first story, or fill the basket on the crane and turn a series of cranks until the basket is raised high enough and over the 2nd story, then lower again so one can reach into it, or until your arms fall off, whichever comes first.

Step 3: Complete the walls and roof on the 2nd story.

The first story had the frames in such a way underneath that you could make hallways and separate rooms. I don't know who had more fun with this, me or the boys. Okay, it was me!
