The deck for this show was a terrain build up of different materials including, foam, canvas and dirt.
The bathtub above was functional.  We had copper plumbing that sat on the deck to the faucet to just under the house where it met hose.  The drain was was plumbed the same way.  All the hose ran to a sink in the back room was of the theatre.
 
The tree limb was found out in the woods near the theatre.  We added foliage to it bought at Autograph foliage, and suspended it from the high steel with three picks.
We lifted all the upper units with chain motors and then bolted the flats together and stiffened them.
The railings were 2x4 that were ripped to size, and the columns were two flats what were framed in to a box.  One side of the column was made removable, so that the railing could be attached to it.
The walls of the house were hollywood flats that were skinned in 1/8" luan and the clapboarded with 1/4" luan.  We had to set up the unit in two sections in the shop because we had height limitations.
