Default Pontiac Treehouse Advert

Well, I never expected to see a treehouse in an old Pontiac ad!........and the first thing I thought of was your treehouse.

Any chance of recreating the ad?

Dug the trench and ran the cable and electrical out from the house today. My electrician tells me he'll have time to stop out next week.

Hasn't had much to say, although with all of the wind we had in the storm last week one of them did hit the gable trim on the roof.

The electricians just left, there is power to the tree house - switch in the basement turns off the whole thing if needed.

My daughter and one of her best friends got the first sleep-out this past Friday night....loved it.

"Enviro friendly"...
solar powered cooking = a magnifying glass...
"low flush" toilet = hole in the floor...
compost friendly 'paper' = leaves

No bath, no kitchen - just sleeping loft and I guess family room.

I'll try to get a picture after dark with the lamp on inside - I'm a little excited about how it will look. Time to get the cable hooked up.

Almost done...
