Trees again

Actually it is quite exciting thinking of what we might do with all of the trees, a small scale fort has some votes a wooden version of Minas Tirinth or the home of the Rohrim or at the least a Swiss family Robinson house soaring up into the treetops is in the boys minds whereas I see a more modest affair more like a large log cabin kind of hut really or a Robinson Crusoe job. I have been looking around at open sided field buildings, there are a few hybrid poly-tunnel sort of constructions, using eucalyptus and plastic instead of steel and plastic, that look quite useful and doable, and I keep thinking of mazes and climbing frames, the veranda idea is now back on the cards - when we first moved here we thought we might build one along the side of the house that looks down towards the lake, we could even have paths and a woodchip drive if we bought a shredder and spent a few weeks feeding it branches. We now have more than enough wood but less than sufficient time to do the work,and eucalyptus does not last long outside in the weather so I need to tread carefully as to how and what I build, at least we won't be cold or relying on the central heating this Winter, I guess a larger stove will be needed.
