This Guy Is Brilliant.

A guy who builds custom treehouses that look like toonhouses.

This is a great idea for when I have kids.

I'd love to see one of these being made.



Check out his website (which is also, great, if you ask me).

Re: This Guy Is Brilliant.

I found that site last year and it gave me an idea. I went to my son, who was 7, now 8 and told him, if he wanted a treehouse, he had to draw it up for us to build. He asked what it could have on it and I told him ANYTHING! It was a BIG mistake because you wouldn't believe the imagination of an 8 year old!

Oh well, live and learn. We have just drilled the holes and poured the 'crete for the supports and did a rough frame for the deck/floor. I'll take some pictures and add to it as we go along.

He wants a porch/deck (elevated), 3 doors, 7 windows, an excape hatch in the floor, a skylight, a slide down pole for emergencies, an elevator, a TURRET with periscope to keep an eye out for girls! I'm sure there will be change orders coming, daily, as we attempt to do this. I'm pretty sure he mentioned a slide, climbing net and a trestle leading from the t-house to the swing set too.

He tossed the turret in only because of my background on tanks, I think and because he knows, I'll get more involved if it has to do with Army stuff. Sly little crud!

Re: This Guy Is Brilliant.

Every time he wants to change something just yell out "CHA-CHING!!!" and hand him the change order to sign...works for me.
