Chris was able to take off a few days and the men worked hard together to finish the tree house . . . whilst the women kept bringing out the water. It's hard to imagine how hot and humid it is out there. We use air-conditioning in our room for night ... set at 25 C (about 80 F) and it feels very cool compared to what's outside.
It's great to have air conditioning, but everything has to be rotated here ... a constant revolving of what power can be kept on. For example, the computer gets turned off when the oven gets turned on . . .. it would not work too well to be a Mennonite Girl Can Cook to live here.
Okay .. so here is the side and back. This house is well ventilated.
Tehya standing in the doorway ... gives a bit of a perspective of the size. There are two stories.
The second story is just a small balcony . . . the girls have already hauled up towels for blankets and made it a bedroom.
Paet's favorite thing to do is to hang from the branches inside the house.
Their smiles make the Papa smile too. Mission accomplished.

WOW...Grandpa has been busy! What an incredible tree house!! I would've LOVED to play in there as a kid. I love how the trunk of the tree goes right through the middle of the house...and the 'sunroof' on top?! SO cool! I'm guessing there's gonna be lots of neighborhood kids coming over to play :)
What a sense of satisfaction your men must have over a job well done. The children obviously love it and they will have a daily reminder of their Papa's love.
