Orhan you made me a poem!! Those process photos are all pictures I took during the 14-hour day of cutting down the tree. Hagerman Construction was the contractor, they are total pros - love your good contractors, everyone!
The Visiondivision guys are awesome and I'm so, so lucky to be working on this project with them. It's a very complex and fun process to get this tree to be as pure as we want it! Construction will be done next summer, after the tree has cured on site for a bit.
an amazing project donna. looking forward to seeing it when its done.
Will the tree rot over time or do you have to treat it?
