These days Robert works over there every day. almost all day. He continues to plaster walls, apply various finishes to the bamboo, finish up the outdoor shower, and plan out what is needed.

I meantime work outside and in keeping up with the hapu’u, household tasks, puppy watching etc. The puppies and the treehouse are not great together just now. Pups way rambunctious and could push one or the other over the edge somewhere, so need to be contained when up. They go up but have difficulty still going down. And they tear up plants. They are especially interested in newly planted plants and certain water containing plants, and will shred them. Much easier to manage them here at home where they have lots of places to run and play where they do no damage and will stay out of harm’s way.

As we do the finish work, it becomes more clear what hardware we need to complete everything, and that gets ordered online, after hours of shopping. You would be surprised how difficult it is to find speakeasy door hardware, and solid bronze strap hinges that don’t cost a fortune. Bees wax finish bolts, push plates for hobbit doors. Fun yes, now it’s done. Yay!
