My Treehouse in the Farm, Bugallon, Pangasinan

My treehouse, built around March 2004 or 10 years ago, has experienced a major facelift last month. Here is how it looks now, when I visited the farm two weeks ago.


And how it looked as of February 2014. The old cogon roof on the second floor facing the rice field has been replaced by iron sheets.


The slatted bamboo floor have been replaced with wood, from slabs of big mahogany trees that were harvested two months ago. Now, view from below, from another side of the house.


The extension on the left side of the second floor.


And the extension on the right side.


The slatted bamboo as flooring has been replaced by wood, about 1/3 x 4 inches, from mahogany slabs. Note new branches and leaves sprouting out of the trunk.

Before: old and decaying slabs behind our rotary club banner during my term as Club President, RY 2006-07.


Now.

The toilet on the ground floor.


Thanks to Sid, our carpenter for seven days. He was assisted by our caretakers Nong Endring and Danny Paragas, and Boknoy.
