A Treehouse of Sorts

July 11, 2025

Up in the loft the house seems tree-branch level. Terry asked me to walk by the the house to see if it’s visible from the road. Of courses it is. It’s peeking through the trees.

Earlier on in the building process we had a casualty. A red-eyed vireo was nesting inches away on an extended branch. The eggs hatched and Terry was proud to announce the arrival of his little peepers. In a rainstorm, one of the huge tarps that need to be deployed too often, lashed the nest and the whole family was lost. Terry morns, but continues.

The house is a a little over 1000 sq feet not counting the loft or the garage. But it looks the size of a Amazon warehouse. For now that is.

Terry started out working with Steve, his brother from Oklahoma. This week brother Les from Idaho joined them. They are tireless. I still don’t know how Terry understands how to do this. And Steve can catch a mistake or a problem. They all work well together.
