Long Island Treehouse: Day 4 Install

FINAL DAY on site!


Marco & Will spend the morning adding the play accessories:
pulley bucket, rock holds, drop leaf table & 2 drop benches, top secret wall safe, chalkboard, shelf & pegs set, and lots & lots of Long Island road signs!

Then break for yoga exercises on the lawn!

Meanwhile, Barbara’s up in the Clubhouse putting the finishing touches to the interior…

The interior is bright and sunny (the walls are stained wild orange) and loaded with play accessories:

  • Chalkboard

  • Shelf & pegs

  • Flags on hook

  • Shield (that slides open to reveal secret safe combination)

  • Top Secret Safe

  • Drop leaf table & drop seats

And all the hand-carved & stained signs are attached to the walls…

Peek thru the door: the tree grows up thru the deck & partially hides the entrance…

The finished tree house blends into the the surroundings without a hint of the color explosion inside.

Walking away from another great job! Everyone feels lucky to be able to work on a tree house!

Marco loads up the truck – on to the next job!
