I had a great idea about expanding my business as a mom. I thought I would start an in-home fort construction company. Yesterday, I used my past knowledge to construct a fort in my family room. It took sometime, but when I was done I felt great about it. The framework consisted of couch pillows and cushions, an ottoman, a toy bin and a blanket for the roof. I had 3 openings for easy access, a small built in shelf for stuffed animals and an outside library with a small nook. The owner truly enjoyed it for sometime (10 minutes max), until Hurricane Jameson came through and the fort was destroyed. Thank God, I didn't get an inspection from the city. It would never passed. I didn't even get a permit and we know how long that can take in Boca. So I have decided to not expand the company and keep the forts internal.
