Awesome build and video brother! Those kids are blessed to have a dad like you. I'm sure they love it, and it can also serve as an indoor treehouse, lookout tower, army base, etc. you know?! I'm 41 and would climb up there in a second with a plastic M-16 if my cousins were visiting and a battle broke out....lol them days! We never grow up at heart. Thanks and God bless u my friend.

The only thing I'd be wary about. All the framing you're doing you're putting a single screw in every where timber meets timber. No double-screwing or glue-and-screw or joins of any sort. So you're relying on the shear-strength of single screws in some places where you'd REALLY want to make sure nothing breaks loose (like the step ladder). As taking the whole platform apart isn't feasible this is what I'd do. For those cross-braces on the platform itself, go back in and put an additional screw on each side. For the step ladder, just to be REALLY safe, pull it down. get yourself a bottle of decent construction adhesive or at least wood glue. Pull each step out one at a time. Dab the ends with glue and double-screw them back into the stringer. Then remount the step ladder (again, glue and double-screw). Sure, it'll cost you a little extra in materials, but it'll result in a MUCH more durable (and safer) project in the end. Also, OSB isn't exactly the greatest material to walk (or crawl) on. And you can get splinters. Consider half-inch sanded plywood instead or overlay it with some cheap hardboard panels for a nice smooth surface. Or you could just go with cheap rugs and stuff.

I personally don't think glue will help in anyway, I mean, I built a shelf by just using screws and nails to hold the woods together, I can put 8 tires on the shelf and the shelf will not collapse. I sometimes don't really get why people would put glue on woods....

So I am sure it will hold 220lb or more but of course I can't give any guarantees in any case.
