A new resident at my house...

That is really cool looking – glad my wife will never see it :-))

My wife would go gaga over this. Good thing we dont have any trees large enough to accomodate it. Very nice and a clever idea. Well done.

Ditto for me as well. This is a nice “little” project. Sometimes we need to step back from our mindsets whereby we focus on the larger projects that seem to drag on forever at times and build something small just to complete a project. You rose to the challenge on this one.

Oh by the way you are not alone with the “challenge”. I am sure that this is something most of us hear from family and friends who think that are no limits to our woodworking abilities. I am a bit more realistic about my own woodworking abilities.

Thanks for sharing.

You should probably cross-post this over at GardenTenders! On second thought, don’t…my wife is a member there! :)

Very fun and well done!

Great design and construction. A fantastic job and very neat looking.

My wife doesn’t want this…and I’d like to keep it that way :)

Very nice job!

I have wondered where those Kebler Elf’s really lived. This is a great looking and very unique project. I have a tree in our garden where something like this would fit in great. I thank you for the insperation.
