I missed all of last month as far as the treehouse goes but, then again, there has been a lot going on. In early October Sandi's dad, Dan, passed away. One of the neat memories we have is his love of building birdhouses and we even have a couple attached to the treehouse (here's the photo). Then on the morning of the day his funeral was planned, high winds dropped a large branch on the roof of my car and we ended up evacuating our house because of the massive fires in San Diego county. Needless to say, we've been a bit preoccupied.
But the last two weekends, I have had some time to get up in the treehouse and make some progress on the roof.
Yesterday while I was working, we had a few extra boys in the mix. Evan, his cousin Joshua and his friend Cayden were starting to get wild in the house so I brought them up the hill to the empty lot adjacent the treehouse and set them loose. It wasn't long before they were involved in a building project of their own.
