freaking rad. my little sis' godparents built her a little house on their property. it had ocean views, a terrace, electricity, it's own entertainment center, etc.
I don't know man. I'm kind of torn on the awesomeness of that treehouse. On the one hand it is really awesome. Things bigger and nicer than the places I lay my head. On the other hand it kind of defeats the purpose of tree houses. A wood box in a tree where the imagination can run wild, you know?
At the same time you can push your kids out a lot earlier if you have a complete house in the tree in the back yard.....
i don't think that anyone that is going to build that kind of treehouse for their little ones is going to be the kind to push their kids out anytime.
My dad always promised me as a child that he would build me one of those if we got rich. We never got rich...and he's still trying to coax me to move back in with them...so I think Waking's theory stands true.
I used to build my own with a friend... And my dad would come up and make things structurally sound and add in railings and so on while we were sleeping.
I had a dream that I had a treehouse once, I felt like a total badass in the dream. Until an asian man that had been with me in the treehouse turned against me and pushed me from the top of it. I woke up before I hit the ground but if I had lived through that fall and stayed asleep, that asian guy's ass would be grass.
Us too. The people who lived in my parents' house before we did had a treehouse but they had taken it down before we moved in so all that was left was a hollowed out tree and nails and chicken wire here and there. So we just put the ladder up there and hung out in the tree. Good enough tree house for me.
