We rarely lose a coconut tree but when we do it's most often done in by an unseen killer that burrows into the heart of the tree from below. There's not much we can do to save the tree and this is what we find when we take it down. In our experience this has happened only to fairly young trees.

The house (4)
The second floor goes up and more rooms are enclosed with Plycem - which we use inside and out. The first small structure built a year ago (see post dated September 2, 2011) is stripped of its wood siding and tied into the new building. The breezeways both upstairs and downstairs become defined by the new walls; and the view from the upstairs breezeway is stunning.
