Treehouse Eaves
After a lot of trial and error attempting to cut the plywood for the eaves, we got some awesome assistance from our friends, Greg & Nadine. Royce and I had measured and remeasured, cut and recut plywood after plywood and only got two pieces of eaves correct. We were truly frustrated.

Greg and Nadine came over and everything started going up quickly and smoothly.

Greg installs swimming pool tile for a living, accurately cutting tiles all the time, so cutting this plywood was easy for him.

Board after board goes into place, he makes it look so easy to do. Believe me it's not.

Especially having to work over your head making each piece fit like a puzzle.

Do you see that one dark brown stained piece and the one to the left of it? That's the two pieces Royce and I installed and it took up almost a complete day. But as you can see now it's starting to take shape, with a little help from our friends.

The really hard part will be the eaves way up top on the second level.

But, we don't have to worry about that today.
