Treehouse Update

The Crew, working working working on the roof

That treehouse still isn't done, but every week-end it gets closer and closer. There have been several rain delays that have slowed things down, and Mr. Bryant, Mr. Duke, ADR, and many friends are working hard to make up that time and get the roof on ASAP.

Pearly going up and down, anxious for the finished product.


Some of the roof, covered. A solid beginning!

Once the treehouse is covered and outside walls are done, then ADR will get started on some of the more artistic finishing (although I am sure he will delegate some activities to Mr. Bryant and Asa and Jaya, at least!!!).

With the rain delays, the total project list for Mr. Bryant and ADR is backing up as well, what with plans for a rabbit hutch (yes, you heard that right!), finishing the fence, rebuilding the garage (yep, that's true), and the house addition already on the list. Asa and Jaya are excited about everything, but they are also wondering - when are Super Dad and Dad going to get any rest?

Maybe over Christmas. :)

September's Tree House - A Month in Pictures

One Handsome Treehouse Building Man!

The guys have been going big guns on the treehouse, as you can see from yesterday's photo. They are in a rush to get the roof completed and the siding done. At that point, Mr. Bryant says that they can relax and move forward at a bit less urgent rate, because all the critical wood will be protected from the weather.

So they have been working at least one full day each weekend, sometimes more. Mr. Bryant is happy to have both ADR and Mr. Duke to help, because every hand makes things go faster at this point. Even Jaya Pearl has been managing the nail inventory, while Pinky runs around and gets in the way.

We were invited to Helen Georgia for Ocktoberfest, but it looks like getting the roof on the treehouse has priority. So there will be new pictures soon, just as soon as we can keep things dry up there.

In the mean time, here is the progress from the beginning of September, each week seeing us get a little closer to the finished state!
