Glad you enjoyed it! We are close to finishing and will have more videos soon.

Thanks! I'll give credit where it is due, and the ladder design is based on a video from Nelson Treehouse. The other build videos and final reveal are now out as well.

Thanks! Check out the other videos in the playlist if you haven’t already. The final reveal will be posted in a few weeks.

@@bigfamilyadventure sweet I will. We’re getting geared up for a tree house build on our property!👊

Thanks Catherine! We're excited to spend more time there doing projects and maybe even relaxing.

Thanks! More to come this summer

Thanks! Once we have railing installed, William can definitely come check out the big tower.

Thanks for the sub! The area just got two feet of snow, but we'll get back when it warms up!

Me too! Santa brought some battery powered string lights. Should look great on the deck.

Thanks, I followed what other treehouse builders have done, so it wasn't my idea, but it did work really well.

Thanks! It's pretty wild up there on a windy day, it definitely moves. There are essentially 1" steel bolts in each tree that stick out a foot. The beams rest on these. Each bolt has a bracket to hold the beam down, and 1 bracket is fixed and 3 can allow sliding. We used cables or struts to give extra support to the free end. We didn't get footage for all of the hardware, but I bought commercially available hardware from Nelson Treehouse, of Treehouse Masters TV show. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbmRo8aCy9uteWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZNyqdFqvczeYJs.html

We did try to follow best practices. I bought a how to book by Pete Nelson and followed pretty closely. I got TAB bolts from his site and used floating brackets on 3 of the 4 trees. They are expensive but more peace of mind. The tree diameter should be able to grow 6 inches without problems. Hopefully that will be 20+ years. Good luck on your project.

@@bigfamilyadventure thanks for the reply.

I might be able to learn details as we talk more with the neighbors. The property was in the same family for many decades, and relatives still live nearby. It has been there long enough for 80 foot trees to block it in. There is a tag that reads "Briggs Body Number 805" and a serial 125855. Some searching online looks like it could be a 1950 Plymouth. I'm not a classic car expert, so if anyone finds more, comment!

We're looking into short term options, but long term will probably be an accessory structure on a homeowner policy - later on when we finish a cabin we are planning.
