What is it?
What is it?
At any rate,
whatever it is...
if it involves your flight of fancy
and Ben's awesome power of building mind-blowing structures...
then it's gonna be OFF THE CHARTS!

Those are teaser pics!!! We can't really get a grasp of what it is yet, looks like something the Ewoks would live in  Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be beautiful! Great start!
PS - that doesn't look like Palm Springs

This is by far THE MOST CRAZIEST INSTALLATION I have ever tackled.
3 solid weeks for just the foundation.
(very, very, solid!!! 
Home for a few daze then back to the " No Internet Zone" ....
(it's kinda nice not having it. it let's your mind create on it's own!
Here's the story...
The rum runners crashed their boat into a lava wall in the desert, built a bar
next to it and the dock. They spent a few years hanging around the bar and
needed to move on and find new direction ( ie; Smuggler's Cove ). So, they saw this
really tall mountain and decided to head west .....

OK the tree village is ready for Ben's special touches and rails, it will be very nautical, with ship lights in the trees, lights by Skip and a few from Bongofury as well, oars, 2000 ft of rope, nets, portholes, grates, ship wheels, block and tackles, bamboo, barrels, witco furniture added for comfort and a bit tiki. The houses range from 4 feet up to 12-14 feet up. They are 10x12 each with one being 8x10. The platform in the middle is 24x24ish. The buildings will be full insulated guest houses with the smaller building being a fully functional bathroom with sink and shower. I am still amazed at it all. I always wanted a tree house. Ben can make dreams come true!
