Placement

Progress happens, at varying rates somehow, though the twelve hour days don't change. A big point of forward momentum came when the building permits were issued and we could drop off the tree house close to its final resting place. We used jack stands from my father's boatyard to take it off the trailer. Notice Ida lying on the ground taking promo photos for the website.

The kitchen bath unit is coming along nicely as well. Here my brother Stig and our bro Matt are sealing up the roof with Grace 'felt' paper and architectural shingles.  Nice smile.

The most exciting happening of the week was breaking out the old climbing gear, clipping the chainsaw on the harness and climbing a huge white oak to nip off a branch.

The dream is taking shape! I have to remind myself that I'm living the dream during these long working days--that I'm not (as I often act like) on my way to something else; that this is it. Warming Spring days help.

Next week: laying power and water lines, delivering the second unit, and hopefully lifting them up into the trees!
