Happy New Year!

New Year's Eve brought just the kind of weather we like- tree house building weather!! Who would've thunk we would be looking at temps in the mid to upper 40's- at the end of December!?

Uncle Kevin brought his usual repetoire of heavy equipment and Sean- on winter break- got into the act for the first time. Grandpa Bob Ramsey took advantage of our Florida like weather while up here and climbed aboard as well.

First we laid the 3/4" plywood flooring.

Here we find Sean and Kevin getting busy.

Nice view!

Next we tackled the ceiling joists.

This kind of work is definitely much easier with a floor in place...

When it came time to frame the walls there was some difference of opinion amongst us over wether or not to deviate from the plans in order to utilize conventional framing methods for the front and rear walls...or stay true to the plan.

We agreed to stay true to the plan. I will follow this post with another containing pics that will better explain our quandry.
