10/11 - 10/12
Because I have nothing better to do than dream up paranoid catastrophe conditions while not sleeping at 3 in the morning, I decided to make "erosion proof" the concrete footers supporting the tree house. You see, during heavy rain, the lower 2 posts see some flash flooding. To date, the normal flow of run-off has shown no sign of eroding the footers. After all, they are 3+ ft deep! Still, I'd rather be safe than sorry; and the recent rains we've seen had me thinking about this condition more than I'd like to admit!
Lucky me! The fantastic painters that have been working on my main house offered me some old landscape timbers they procured from another job. They were a little worn, but perfect for re-purposing in my little project.

I even had enough timber leftover to offer "Momma" hickory some root erosion protection:
Pretty purple 'shroom!
And the painters are getting started!
