Zak Abbott - the Creator of the Treehouse!!

Sunday 19 September 2010 - -

Nh and Benniboy decided to meet today however Ali G was absent as he was hosting a car bootsale in Hatfield with his family. They took this as a good opportunity to improve the Treehouse and make it even more muggle proof.

Benniboy woke up late so we were late starting but promptly headed to the wilderness in the direction of the Treehouse. We added a another step to aid us when descending from the 2nd step. There wasn't any evidence that it had been touched, so we don't think anyone had been up. We got the 2 fence planks from a previous trip and nailed them up to the wall, further improving the height of the wall. We also took out the broken planks and agreed that they needed replacing, so we went to the fence and got 4 fresh new planks. We were heading back and heard potential treeswingers and bikes so we decided it would be a good time to get lunch. We dropped the planks near the treehouse and deployed to St.Albans town centre.

 

We parked outside of the town to get free parking and went straight to wilko's, we didnt spot Ruhel and briefly browsed the items, looking for the cheap claw hammer, however of to no avail. Nh then withdrew £10 from the cash machine and we headed to subway.

We both got the Sub of the day which was the Spicy Italian for £2.29 and we also got 12 cookies, Nh discovered that he had 499 points on his Sub card, 1 off a free subway. After this we deployed back to the wilderness and ate our subs at the fallen tree and headed for the treehouse, picking up the planks on the way. There was a muggle very close so we acted casual and Nh ate another cookie and Benniboy drank some of his water. We were keeping a close eye on the football match between Man Utd and Liverpool, the score was 1-0 at the time, much to Nh's delight as he had a £2 bet riding on the match. We carefully placed the planks on the wall and nailed them in, however much to our disbelieve a known treeswingboy came out of nowhere... ZAK ABBOTT, he was with his suspected sister and canine beast. Benniboy was on level 2 sitting down and Nh was holding a plank up about to nail it in. Zak said "I made the floor of that". We were both stunned. Benniboy climbed down and we discussed this major event and then checked the football score, Liverpool had equalised and the score was 2-2 much to Nh's disappointment.


The main wall is almost complete now, just a little gap at knee height and needs a few more at the very top. We used a thick plank, that we found at the fallen tree, to complete the level 2 structure.


While doing this we were muggled by a father and daughter. The daughter was about 10, they just walked around the main wall to be able to easily see us. They gazed in awe, then left after a minute. Then, while we were climbing down the treehouse, they came back and the father said "now I know how you get down". We went and retrieved some more smaller fence planks, to fully complete the level 2 outer structure and start building more walls. 

We checked the footy scores. Man Utd v Liverpool 3-2 and Chelsea v Blackpool 4-0. We had both profited from our bets. We concluded our wilder studies there.
