This and That

Back again

Life rushes on and I haven't revisited the blog in a while. The hill behind our house is covered with grass and weeds that are knee deep, courtesy of the recent rains. Up in the lofty reaches of our tree, however, part of the treehouse is somewha...

What a difference a year makes...

It was one short year ago when this treehouse idea started becoming reality. It's pretty amazing to look back at the early pictures...and then see how far we've come. Now I know that in my early posts I dreamed about having things all wrapped by ...

A few weeks back we didn't have time to do any major construction but Elena and I were able to get out and get some more exterior staining done.

Progress

Lofty ambitions

Of poop & painting

We're back! Yes, after quite a hiatus from tree-house building, the work has continued. I climbed up the ladder for the first time on Saturday and found a little surprise. Now, whether it is racoon, possum, coyote, dog or -- God forbid -- human, ...
