End of the zip line. 228 feet starting above the treehouse and ending at this tree.
Treehouse so far, still needs paint, roof, balcony, and zip line launch pad. Zip line barely visible above the treehouse.
After three weeks the grass is going strong. Hopefully within the next month the gazebo will be restained.
We are ready for a slow down with baseball winding down in a couple of weeks. At the same time the treehouse should be complete and we can take a break and enjoy everything. That is, until we decide to start redoing our family room.

Hopefully, the grass will spread quickly and we can have a green front yard. Even without grass, it is looking better thanks to these lovely flowers. I love finding such beautiful surprises. 
In the midst of these time and money gobblers, we had several days of rain. As we sat in the house, since it was too wet to play (credit Dr. Seuss), John began to ponder a fascinating question. What does the floor under the bar in the family room look like? Being the unsuspecting wife I am, I said, I don't know, we should move it and see. Of course, once you remove the bar, you have to remove the light from over the bar and the chair rail. 
Okay, now removing the backing from the old wall paper (yes, the previous owners just painted over the wall paper) and painting the family room has been added to the "to do" list. And yes, that is vinyl record wallpaper and blue walls. 
We may take the easy way out and just replaced the sheet rock. Removing 20 year old (at least) wall paper is not my idea of fun. 
I found an old picture to show what the room looked like with the bar. We are planning to put a pool table in the room, so it made sense to move out the bar. Okay, so there was plenty of room even with the bar, but we get bored when we don't have something to tear up.
