What a great family adventure



Tree house building is a kind of subculture, once you find other people who have started building tree houses and all the fancy stuff they have done it becomes addicting. I know Mike has the addiction. I was the reluctant "oh my, is it gonna hold all the kids?, is it safe?". We are now at the point that kids can play in it. The other night we have 18 kids over and they had a blast. In this photo the railing is temporary, the final railing is going to be installed soon and then the roof.

Now I get to help out, make signs like "Girls Only" and "Boys Only", paint and decorate it. Mike and I are open to any and all ideas. We will have a tire swing underneath and maybe hang a rattan chair inside.

I hope my sons don't see your treehouse... they both keep reminding Tom about the one he was supposed to have built when they were little!

I love yours... it looks like the perfect place to hang out!

Should you be building a treehouse on a dead tree? Just asking...

The two trees that are cut are actually cemented into the ground 6' down (Two man auger and alot of sweat). We harvested those cedars from a friends land in Green Bay. The other two trees are very much alive. They will continue growing.
