| Tree Testing Equipment |
After many, many corrections on Lovers Treehouse, our last set of corrections showed that architectural and engineer plans had been approved!! (Biggest hurdle) and the last step before acquiring the building permit would be to show no interior decay of our tree's...
Scott Baker from Tree Solutions fly's in from Seattle, Washington (another one of those intelligent guys from the treehouse world - the world is smaller than you'd think) We head out to Lovers Treehouse site and the time has come to see what the interior strength of our tree's are like....
It was a bit nerve-wracking and quite the trip (hopping over fences at 7 mths pregnant; luckily I had my husband to help me over - not quite sure I could have done it without him) And I can't say I looked too graceful doing it... The testing began and after a couple of hours and loads of equipment, we found out our tree's are about 300 years old, the species of tree is fire resistant (these tree's just keep getting better) and that there's no interior decay!!
We'll be moving forward with these tree results and hoping to receive that building permit sooner than later ;) Stay tuned for the building to begin!!
