Finishing the treehouse.
Yesterday in Monteagle I was able to do the last bit of work on the treehouse. That included a little caulking, a ladder for the bunks, installing the second door, and a few other little things.
Snow day!
Luke’s school actually canceled yesterday afternoon before a single flake had fallen. We probably got about two inches overnight. It is pretty, and not many folks are on the road. We’ve got a fire going and Luke is looking forward to sledding.
Treehouse progress – almost finished!
On Thursday after school Luke and I drove up to Monteagle. My dad was up there and we went to dinner at the Mountain Goat Market. We talked with Eric a bit and enjoyed some tasty pizza. On Friday morning we started working on the treehouse. It was cold but not miserable. My mother came up as well. We spent just about all day working. Now we just lack a few things – caulking some holes, hinges for one door, and boards for the bottom bunk and a ladder. I have all of these things at home. Luke and I went to the campus dining hall for dinner. This morning we hung out a little, then walked on the Mountain Goat Trail with my mother. We drove down to Shelbyville and had lunch with her before continuing home.
The Final Boss of puzzles.
For Christmas my sister gave me a 3000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Luke and I have been working on it a bit. We had to divide up all the pieces, starting with the edge pieces. We missed about three, but will fins them later. Now that the outline is done we are working on the interior. This puzzle doesn’t have the oddly shaped pieces that some of ours do, which makes it a bit more challenging. We are currently working on the building’s roof, which involves a lot of trial and error. We are enjoying ourselves though.
