If he WERE more mature he would have realized that without a moat, his defense from foundation attacks is weak.  His girlfriend will be undermining the walls by nightfall.   Good luck, fella.

Did anyone notice that those boxes are from refrigerators?  Who has 6 new refrigerators?

Better yet who has a kitchen big enough for 6 refrigerators?

I suspect he may be the guy who drives the truck or works in the warehouse that sells the appliances.    Yes, it struck me as well.  Having been on the hunt for large boxes for nephews in my past, I can appreciate how hard they can be to come by.  This guy SCORED!

I tried to explain the joke to my husband. He didn't understand it. But he does want to know if the guy made a video of the construction process!

Looking at the video, looks  like the HOA might not approve.

When you have over 200 boxes collecting in your garage, you have to do something epic with them.  We decided to make a HUGE box fort for the kids!
