[Lekooks] Update

[Kristin Sanden]

Another but if encouragement

Our offer of glamping in our treehouse could also use some competitive
bidding. Who else besides us could use a change of scenery for a night?

We have been working hard to transform this kids fort into our woodland
sleeping cottage and it is coming along quite nicely. A few things you
might want to know...
1. we have a power supply/battery pack for plugging in phones to recharge
or #’s 2 and 3
2. There is an electric ceiling light
3. there is ab electric fan! Also nice air circulation with lots of
screened windows
4. stairs have been built (so no more ladder access)
5. we added a foam topper to the futon mattress so nice and comfy
6. In addition to the bedroom, there is a small enclosed space and a small
deck to enjoy morning coffee, happy hour, meditation etc
7. floors, ceiling and walls all go cosmetic updates and a fresh coat of
paint
8. When you lay in bed all you see is the tree canopy through the windows.
It is also especially delightful in the rain

Pictures available soon or on request

If the bids get to $100, we would consider an extra slot for another bidder
if there is still time

Kristin and Greg
