Two architects
Matthieu and Tim have been excited for the last couple of days about the "cabin" they've planned and had built next to the cherry tree.
According to Tim this morning they were planning to have me connect pipes from their place to the sewer so they could put in toilets and a bathtub he and Matthieu are going to carve from solid oak. They're not going to put in a shower stall, however. Not enough space.
Matthieu expects to pour concrete walls around the twigs and vines, and Tim will put insulation under the roof. They don't expect to have a concrete roof, since that might be too heavy.
So far, they've gotten Michael to lash together a ladder of apple branches which I sawed to size. Michael roped it to the cherry tree and pull out some branches I've not yet been able to take to the dump. He arranged the branches to give the impression of an inside and an outside.
As far as Tim's concerned, they're almost done. Matthieu was up in the tree with the spy glass, peering at the house.
