Wood delivery

Here comes the wood. Or at least most
of it. There needs to be about
100 or more boards still to be
delivered, but that will come
later. Some of the boards had
tongues and grooves, so it will


be easier to put them together for the outside facade of the tree houses. Some are really long and not all that easy to haul around and stack. It took about 90 minutes and five people to unload the truck and stack it up near the bodega where the construction folks are living. It will take a few days to dry out and then another day or so to treat all the lumber (termites are just as bad, if not worse, here than back in Hawaii) and then the tree houses will really start to take shape.

That guy in the red shirt appears to be a natural-born supervisor ... note the excellent hands-on-hips technique ... pictures of dogs and building materials nice, but snakes and crocs deserve a little more face time

the man in the red has honed his supervisory skills from the muckety-mucks of gannett! no chance of getting close enough to a snake to get a good pic. . .
