The trick

Build the tall tower on one whole corner square of the base, never the middle. Only a corner lines up edge to edge with the wall below, so the tower locks onto the yard instead of floating over a seam.

Step by step

  1. 1. Build the walled base

    Lay four floor squares in a 2 by 2 and stand the eight outside walls, leaving the inside open as a yard.

  2. 2. Raise the corner tower

    On one corner square, build a two-level box that climbs above the wall.

  3. 3. Open the lookout

    Cap the tower with a deck, then stand three low walls as a railing and leave one side open to see out.
