Our Tree Fort branches have TERMITES.





I have a sad note, Sunday, Mark came over to work on the tree. He notices that there was dust under a couple of branches. So he looked a little deeper and found out each and everyone of the wood, branches on the tree had termites in them. So yesterday, Mark ripped all the wood ones out. Then we looked at what do we do now? So we came up with a couple of ideas. Replace the branches with newer wood. Then spray it with a a protector of some kind. Or let us use PVC pipe.The pipe fits right into the old holes. 1 1/2" prefect fit. So we took a piece of pipe and drilled some holes in it and put the leaving branches into it. I think it looks great. You know after you paint the pipe with the same color of the tree. I thought I took a picture of it, I guess not. Tomorrow I will show you that piece of pipe.
