Thanks for watching!

The overall size of the treehouse and deck platform is approx. 12' x 16'

It absolutely could be nice for easier access. We started out with more of a kid focused design, so it wasn't something we looked at closely yet, but over the years, it could be something that makes sense later!

Thanks! We are at about $15k materials cost. I may post a cost breakdown video later this spring.

Hi, thank you!. We used standard sizes for walls in the US. The walls are 2x4 inches (actual measurements are 1.5 x 3.5 inches), so similar.

@@bigfamilyadventure thank you very much for the info. Your video inspired me more to turn my dream into reality. Thx 🙏

It’s easy to say that would make it darker and colder j

Thanks! I'm telling myself that spending my "time off" being active helps keep me young. We'll see.

The insulation in the walls are mineral wool batts. Thanks!

Thanks! I really appreciate the comment. It's hard to feel rushed with limited time on site and let little imperfections go, but we are really happy with the result.

Thank you! Happy New Year!

Glad you enjoyed it! We hope for more memories now that we can enjoy using it. More projects are coming.

It's possible, but the wide angle camera makes it looks like the distance is bigger than it really is. I think it's only 6 or 7 feet, so the straps would be pretty short. We have a hammock chair hanging from under the treehouse beams but it isn't shown close up in videos.

Thanks for the comment! We've done some remodels before, but nothing like this. I've learned a lot on youtube.

We did add some basic insulation. For now, it is not set up for heat, but our plan is to eventually run electric to the space and if we want heat then, we can use an electric heater. There is more info in some of the other build videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eKechpB70r6zl30.html

Thank you very much!

Thanks! It's been nice memories, and the kids have really enjoyed being involved but also being able to relax in the hammock while dad kept working.

@@bigfamilyadventure I can relate to that last statement LOL.

Glad you want to see more! You might get a more complete look in the full reveal video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9umert-s6_OhKM.html

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.

Hi, there are a few reasons, one is that the layout of trees probably wouldn't have allowed too much larger footprint without custom engineered support hardware, and a second is that the local building regulations wouldn't allow a treehouse to be a living (sleeping) space. We focused on setting this up so our young kids could use it now, and as they get older we may change the furniture so it can be an office space or something parents will use.

@@bigfamilyadventure OK understood. It is sad not allowed to stay over night. If you stay with sleeping bag, will it cause any issue then?

and it is WAY WAY too small. it needs to be somewhat bigger. like enough for a family to sleep overnight. it's way too small. it looks like a closet. but the professionalism is apparent.

I hear you, it's not big enough to be a living space. It is meant as a hang out space. The zoning restrictions for the land mean it would not be legal to make it bigger and use it for a living space. We are starting work on a cabin and want to stay on good terms with local officials.

Thanks, the family was very patient as I took the time to hopefully do things right!

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!👊

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

Thanks! More to come this summer
