Tree House Update - not much new.....
Just got another side done with the shingles - did some scalloped ones in the gable end to complete the look (had them left over from a house 3 years ago). I've got everything I need to finish it, except time.
 That side took all day, and yes it is an illusion in the pictures, the deck is dead nuts level!

That rocks! Is it for little kids or big kids?

I don't think that railing meets OSHA standards.
Seriously, that's one fine treehouse. What kid wouldn't want one?

Put a funnel hole in one of the corners, run some power for a fridge and a flat screen, and a small portable grill on the deck and you've got the perfect Male Crisis Center...Forget the kids! You still need to build the fireplace.

It's for me and the kids but it's been 2 years since we built the walls (2.5 since the deck went up) and it just seems it's still far away. I'll have a little time in August - the beach community where my current project is located won't let us work during July & August.
Maybe I need to sub a little out.....

That will not hurt your property values, especially if you advertise it as the "mother-in-laws cottage"

Chris, looking better and better...those "scalloped" shingles , or "fishscales" as we call them here, really pep up the gable!

Clean, dry, and private place in the woods.
Congratulations! You just made a great place for the kids to do all kinds of things that their parents wouldn't approve of.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
