We are making great progress on the Under Hill’s skylight tree these days. We won’t be ready to install it until the middle of next month but, with the fall weather closing in it is time to finish up the carved concrete. Below you can see a detail shot of one of the tree’s roots. It is going to look fabulous perched on the hilltop!

As we head into fall we continue to make progress on the Inn. Periodically, Hailey and I tour the site and occasionally one or both of the kids will come along. Henry is quite fond of shoulder rides these days (I imagine he really will be taller than me before very long).

The Avellana is also looking mighty tall these days. It looks a little odd without the rest of the building but that will change soon enough!

With the second floor slabs poured and the ship and tower installed it is time to start forming the second floor walls. The castle walls are over 27 feet tall at their peak so they will be poured in two sections. It is great to see the forms under way!
