The Peacock Perch is completed. Treehouses on cable channels throughout the country. Frustrated with trying to satisfy code requirements and in an attempt to get the county off his back, the Treesort announces a closure. Michael lets them and asks for a donation. Michael re-opens treehouses but keeps a low profile, not allowing any press stories.
Business is slow.
A lot of people have heard about treehouses but if you asked locally most people said they heard it was closed. Persevering people continue to find us. The cease and desist order, however, remains in place. It's Intreependence Day and all three major network news crews show up, along with the print media. That night our Tree Ring Circus is featured, along with the nation's other major fireworks shows, on network news shows throughout the country.
