A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat bb's treehouse project

its not really a treehouse, but bb calls it her treehouse so thats what its called now this was my old greenhouse frame it was green but this mornin bb and me painted it brown, then started tying tree branches to it for the vines were gonna plant around it, i had to get this at least started cause the cup-n-saucer vines have started to grow up the shelves in the other green house,

you know i thought about that!
bb loves it so much i think i will make iy somthing for her to play in and me to plant around

oh how cute, Christy, bb will sure enjoy playing in it! You are so creative!

thats the plan triss
i couldnt wait! i went out after work lastnight and built a small bed around the front, and planted the cup-n-scaucer vine. i checked my work early this mornin ok maybe i shouldnt of did that at night, had to fix it,

i think the lattice would make it look ahole lot better, its just getting it. im gonna keep tryin

i got lattice today!!!
my hubbys friend came over he had his truck seen bb and me workin on it, and him and hubby and got us some lattice!!!
were painting it before we put it on, pluse i gotta take all the branches off, gonna put some back on cause i did like the look. hubby said it looked camouflaged, hopefuly we can get it done in the morn, may need to buy more paint, bb got more paint everywere! i dont care every blob, run or whatever says bb helped paint this

Waiting for the new pic as well.

thanks!!

i slept in this mornin so i didnt get much done, and noticed i bought the wrong color paint, so i stoped at wallmart after work and got more brown paint,
got the roof on and 2 sides so far, i think i hit my fingers more times than the nails! and i got this long blister from carrying the lattice from the back yard to the porch to cut it,,,,, my hubby said why dont ya just use an extension cord, now why didnt i think of that!
im goin to bed early tonight so ill hopefully get it done in the morn and post a pic

It's like a mini 'Hummingbird House' !

finaly!


i thought that too wrennie when i had all branches around it, i was drinkin my coffee out there the other morn and noticed the hummingbird house on my mug , dont look like it now with the lattice, im still gonna add more branches here and there, and a floor, lil walkway
still gotta plant the plants, mostlry vines
