This project really is coming together. My daughter and I leave in just three days to travel to the installation site.
Here are some sneak peek photos of what transpired over the last 4 days...

--the outer wall is complete
--the structure is rock solid (finally! with big help from Andrew)
--zippers have been installed to help the wind move through the piece

and still to come in the next couple days:
--more zippers, bringing the total to 35
--a roof!
--sewing the two ends of the wall together
--attaching the roof to the wall
--cutting the second set of PVC bones, then color-coding the entire inside structure, preparing reverse directions, and (GULP) dismantling and packing it up!

once again, thanks to each of you for your participation and enthusiasm.
xo,
