Zip line without trees!

Check out our new zipline structure for folks without trees. Jeff and I have wanted to do this for a long time. Finally we got the chance to put our ideas to the test. It's working great!

The starting point needed to be pretty high. I thought staining it green would make it make it not stand out as much...I'm not sure that worked but the family didn't mind. Some people have commented that it looks like a guillotine...














We faced the metal posts with redwood - that took a lot longer than we thought it would.
















The view of the ending doorway is hidden from the house by the small tree.

Rosefield Cottage

Hi all

Here are some photos from our new playhouse in Tiburon. I'm calling it Rosefield Cottage because my client loves roses. Soon the roses will be growing up a trellis that will cover the big I-Beams.

The outside is all carved and stained and the inside is all painted.

The playhouse is tucked under the deck of the main house, with a great view of the SF Bay. The playhouse barely fit between the I-Beams and under the deck and we had a hard time sliding the roof in place. I shouldn't cut it so close but of course I can't resist!

That's my sister Pat, visiting from Norfolk Virginia, enjoying the view.

Rosefield Cottage is completely waterproof and finished inside, with real doors & windows.
That's Suzanne sitting on the bottom bunk. She came and helped finish the touch-up on the last day.

Notice the drop-leaf table & benches against the wall.

My client found a great chandelier but we are still looking for the perfect sconces that are kid-friendly as well. Soon to be added are foam cushions for the bunk beds, a small area rug, curtains...
