What's new?...

Been a few days since we last posted an update here. A combination of copious amounts of weekend rains combined with a little uncertainty in our engineering (read: math) department have led to a brief stall in our treehouse quest.

Seeing as how this wire rope represents the hypothenus of a triangle in our treehouse plans, it was imperitive that we determine it's length in order to move forward. A little hunting around and I came up with the time worn mathematical equation that we needed.

__(a squared-distance from bottom GL to eyebolt)
+ (b squared-distance from bottom GL to top GL)
__________________________________________
__c squared- distance from top GL to eyebolt

Subtract from that the length of one half way opened turnbuckle and we're looking to order that wire rope this week!
