Further Progress


It is hard to show great changes to the treehouse since the pictures are starting to look like a finished project.  We almost finished painting the exterior of the building after building another scaffold so that we can work on the side that has no deck associated with it -- ran out of paint right near the end yesterday. We will probably finish that today.  The exterior trim is all cut and painted and ready to install as soon as the painting is done.  We installed the final hinged window -- one more fixed window to go.  

We have installed low voltage wiring inside the walls and sheetrocked the rafters inside the house. I have installed 4" logs as collar ties. They are really good looking in there.  We have also trimmed out the interior with some furring strips so that the white cedar wall boards can be installed.  We will sand the sheetrock and paint it before we install the cedar boards.  There would be no way to remove any paint splatter from the cedar boards should we have any.

The crow's nest roof is totally complete. I have even tarred the cap of the chimney and repositioned the stairway going up there and fully screwed it in place.

The to do list now has the following items left to complete:
    Finish exterior painting and nail on trim.
    Install one fixed window in the sleeping alcove.
    Make and install the door (I have finished the design at this point)
    Install the cedar walls.
    Install the hardwood flooring.
    Buy and install window and door latches.
    Install lighting fixtures.
