This is a better picture of the west side. Some neat old Coconuts here Including the big orange & purple barn house and a couple of others. The pink building needed total restoration and it turned out fine using a slug of Pete Oehmans mullioned windows and his pink coconut too. Thanks Janet. The 3rd unusual house really doesn't look like much but it is up near the base of the tree and though quite early doesn't look so. Notice it has 2 of the early and rare Grass Tube trees. I need to explain "Fluffys Catch" The little trolley that I got new last year is now NO longer new. I am not sure it was her or her brother Buddy but whatever it now stumbles down the track in a halting manner. It was mauled enough to get a couple of plastic wheel keepers off of it. I snapped them back in place but it isn't working too good.

Next is Buddy's view from the couch of mainly Loggies and similar types

Lastly are some choice coconut I put on the piano.

Brian you have the Talent to build anything you want. And you don't have to take out a bank loan either. Think about it. Tom
