Tree house

[freshtiva]

Well after a year and a half of not working on my tree house I figured Id work on it this week. Finally got some materials. I'm working alone so it gets slower the higher I go. I'm hoping to get to deck level with the stairs this week. I finally accumulated enough free CCA lumber to start again thanks to someone adding on to their house and removing a deck. Here is a video of the tree house and some of the free lumber before I start on it. I'm afraid of heights after 30 feet. After that I can reach terminal velocity before I hit the ground.

Thats not a tree house, its a stairway to heaven!! Looks amazing though!

[GenevaDirt]

that is friggin awesome...just wait till it is done and you are able to sit up there...and a wind storm kicks up...hahahahaha!

That is very cool Marcus .

I think that will be real neat when you get it way up there and get the house done , then sleep out there , open up some windows , of even add a heater and use it in the winter .

I will have to take some pics of my Brother in law tree house / deer stand .

Break time picture update.





Some more free lumber, the precut stringers and stairs will come in handy if I can get them up in the tree.



Its pretty slow my myself....

Up the stairs, down the stairs
Up the stairs, down the stairs
Up the stairs, down the stairs

Progress so far, no blood drawn yet

[packrat427]

Only thing missing.. is the firepole from the top

[freshtiva]

Doug, Im going to hold you to that.


Quickslick, dont forget the zip line. :twisted:

[25Horseplay]

I want to come see it too!

[Quickslick4444]

A Zipline from your house to the tree house? :=)

I say we have a Festy meet at Marcus's when it is done...or better yet, we show up to help him get it done...or at least a big dent in it.

[freshtiva]

Y'all need to come down !!!, and bring some refreshments with you. With six festys here already Ive got half a meet to start with. :lol: Seriously, anyone on the board coming through the area, stop in by all means. Id love some company..... Makes me think of a joke.

There was this guy in Montana and he didn't have any neighbors for miles. He decided he'd have a party so he drove to his nearest neighbor five mile away. He told the neighbor " I'm having a party why don't you come over". The neighbor said "great, what are you going to be doing at your party". The first guy says "well were going to have a little dancing, a little drinking, a little fighting, and a little messing around ".(G version) The second guy says " that sounds great who all is going to be there". The first guy says "just you and me". :lol:


PS No offense to anyone in Montana , I have an uncle there and love Montana. Thats just how I heard the joke.

No offense taken. In some parts of Montana it wouldn't suprise me. I've heard a joke a lot like that one about N. Dakota. I guess the states where we still ride our horse to work will never get a break.
