treehouse

Since we left Richmond, the kids have been needing a place to call their own ... I had built them a tower in the backyard back at our old house, and while they have had a pretty good time playing in the yard, something was missing ...

A couple of trees in the back of the house were decent candidates for some extra work, but as I did not want to impact the fruit trees, the birch was the best candidate.


the birch tree in question (planning shot)

Man at work

the new owners move in. It is really more of a platform built around the tree rather than IN the tree ... but they are not complaining!

cleaning crew at work - just need two more guardrails to be absolutely safe, then we're done ...

Wow! What a cool platform. The kids will have fun up there. Maybe they'll let mom and dad have a turn, too.
