Omg, that is the coolest tree house I've ever seen! I bet Sabin will be thrilled when she comes home to find it finished!! And I love love love your chicken coop, it's a dream! I hope I can get my boyfriend to build some nice stuff when we move, tho we won't have so much space ;)
Oh my everything is just so awesome! If we didn't go south for the winter we would get chickens in a min. I am sure Sabin will go over the moon when she sees her tree house

the child is away for a week or so, out sailing with friends, so her far is working on putting the finishing touches on her treehouse. work was a little bit abandoned when i bought the chickens and they needed a proper domicile.
[Image]
we've also had a lot of rain of late, so that has slowed things down as well. but today, the sun shined and the last siding was put into place around the windows - which were rescued from a dumpster at the recycling center (with permission, of course).
[Image]
while it was raining, husband made this two-part door. it's repurposed from the zinc covering of an old refrigerated container that was on our property. he kept some of the picture of a canned ham, which i think looks pretty cool.

the view from the back, where there's another window that lets you look out over the field (where we've got cows at the moment - not ours, they belong to a farmer from up the road).

and a gratuitous shot of chez poulet, our posh chicken coop, where the improvements continue and you can now see the beginning of the shelter for our coming pigs.
[Image]
oh, and what doesn't show is that he's building a little pond. because chickens need a pond. right?
[Image]
and a shot with all of the siding in place. we hope to have it all ready for her to have a housewarming party when she gets home in ten days or so.
