The kids got very excited to build a “tree-ish house.” They started by extending a small treehouse that the built last year. This was cool, but took up a lot of prime real estate and interfered with the view from the cabin. After some discussion, they chose a new plot in heretofore unexplored territory. (It’s only about 30 feet west of the prior spot, but it’s screened by trees.) They enlisted Sarah’s professional help, removed the old structure and built a new, improved one. The sounds of hammers and saws filled the woods today.
The first picture below shows them beginning to deconstruct the first draft house. The rest show the new one. (And Piper, of course!)
Goodness! I’m so impressed with what you have accomplished! It looks like it will become a great hangout. By the way, have you ever opened up the small “camper” by the shed? There may be a tent that you could modify for your tree-ish house. Good work!
Bravo! Version II looks more acommodating. Nicely done.
Now, time for a joke for Oliver: How does the Man-in-the-Moon get his hair cut?
Your kids are so lucky to be born to the two of you – I love their spirit, initiative, and the fun they have together on this project. In years to come, this tree house will inspire, delight and offer repose – lovely!
