For Santa Bin Laden, much stuff needed to be got. Palets were disected, bushes were harvested, and trees were cut down.

Shrug put many valuable hours into the project, including the creation of an origional bamboo bird cage, which was great.

As the work in the lounge progressed, the materials and working area moved into the hallway.

And, then there's the other end of the hall of course.

Putting the finishing touches on the ship's wheel. This was my (Igloo) personal little touch to the project.

Last-minute details. Less than a day before showing, the last tree get's paper mache.

Many trips down to China gave us the bamboo that was needed to make railing and to thatch the various ceilings.

Bolt went to great lengths to add some color and life to our treehouse, bringing in plants and flowers.

The icing on the cake was the on-going christmas carols being played on the piano, thanks to Coda, Abu, and Mortermer.
