All the winners are crowded onto the stage in jubilation. With arms outstretched and cheering in triumph they hold onto their trophies & prizes while the announcements of the winners can be heard in the background.

Wobinna’s Dream Home Contest: Submission #2 Tree House

More ideas from the Wo-Built staff, this time about the tree house.
Dawn’s interpretation of a tree house is living in a tree with separate structures, but Lonya has a new take on it. Here is what her tree dreamhouse is all about.

The Tree House

In these days of green awareness and eco-friendliness, what could be more ideal than maybe ... a tree house? Not only does a tree house epitomize sustainability but it brings us back to a simpler and quieter time. A time when we were younger, innocent, and freer. And certainly, to a time when we could and DID let our imaginations run riot.

It seems that in these modern times, people are rediscovering tree houses and their joys and as such a few companies that specialize in tree houses have sprung up. Of course these are still for children only, but if you yearn to get away from it all, imagine living in a custom-built tree house just for you.

My dream tree house would actually be nestled between some trees away from prying eyes, but not necessarily IN a tree. It would be high enough off the ground to be able to walk underneath, a glassed-in area (sort of like a family room underneath your house) and supported by a number of beams.

There would be a staircase to access the main floor area. It would consist of a wraparound balcony and it would be divided into 3 rooms - 2 bedrooms and an open concept kitchenette, living and dining area with a huge bay window to be able to see the forest animals frolicking (remember this is a dream!) – but hopefully no bears!

Although I am a nature lover, but not really one for roughing it too much, an indoor washroom is needed with, of course, indoor plumbing. And being environmentally conscious my tree-house would have to be "green" (no pun intended).

This would certainly be my ideal getaway, away from prying eyes, back to nature and a more leisurely pace of life.

Lonya is the staff writer for Wo-Built Inc.

Wobinna and Friends: Class Assignment continues (part 2)

Panel 1

Wobinna is in the workshop at Rob’s parent’s garage with Paul and Rob and their project all wrapped up (literally!) in huge boxes. Paul gives the thumbs-up, while Rob looks on with relief and joy at a job well-done.

Wobinna (with her arm up triumphantly declares with excitement): Yes!! All done... Great job guys!!!

Panel 2

Wobinna is in the driver’s seat of the van while Rob and Paul load up the boxes with the project into the back of the vehicle.

Wobinna: Have we got all the boxes?

Rob (looking around for any stray boxes): Ummm……..

Paul (panting and struggling to load a huge box onto the van): I hope so!!

Panel 3

Wobinna, Paul and Rob are in the auditorium with all their other classmates unpacking the boxes and setting up their project.

Paul (bringing in the last box): We got this in the bag!!

Rob (with enthusiasm): Fer sure man!!!

... to be continued.

Look for the exciting conclusion and the announcement of the winner next week!!

Panel 1

Wobinna is in her shop classroom as her teacher reads out their assignment. She gets a brainstorm and starts whispering excitedly to her classmate.

Teacher: New Project…Blah, Blah, Blah. You can win prizes!

Wobinna (whispering excitedly): I have an idea Paul! Let’s meet in the caf!

Paul listens intently.

Panel 2

Paul, Rob and Wobinna sit at the cafeteria table and talk excitedly about their ideas for the upcoming project over lunch.

Paul again listens intently and eats as Wobinna and Rob enthusiastically discuss their plans.

Wobinna: What about a robot that can clean the oil from the beaches?

Rob (waving his hand excitedly): Awesome! I think teach will love it!!

Panel 3

Paul, Rob and Wobinna are back in the workshop as Wobinna shows the boys her idea drawn out on paper. They go over their plans for the project and Paul and Wobinna start assembling materials and tools.

Wobinna (carrying some boards): You find it?

Paul (triumphantly): Ya, It’s over here!

Meanwhile Rob sets up a working area at his house.

Paul and Wobinna go shopping for the rest of the needed materials.

In a flurry of excitement the assembly begins.

... to be continued.

Stay tuned to the exciting conclusion of the project!
