Here is the tree house we built.. finally up in the tree! Another way that my kids can hurt themselves… But so far, they are really having fun with it. They are having a picnic in it as we speak.. Hot dogs chips and a drink.
I meant it to look precarious, but it is not. I can jump up and down in it, and it wont even swing the branch. Its in a Oak tree, and boy, is that tree hard.
If you don’t remember the previous post concerning this… Its built mostly out of scrap lumber I pulled out of the house when I was rebuilding the rooms. I cut up the ceiling joists for most of it, and I found some scrap plywood for the rest. The only thing purchased was the siding (50% of it) and the roofing, some special pieces of wood (like the side pieces to the ladder) and the nuts and bolts its assembled with. other than that, its from wood that I had been collecting just for this purpose. Turned out pretty good I would say! The remainder of the wood that was left over, I sold on Kraigs list. I got around 30$ for it. They guy that purchased it was also building a play house for his kids.
Ok, this one is going to get me in trouble. I did not intend to let them do this.. but they climbed up and wanted me to take a picture. They were more stable than I thought they would be. As Melinda demonstrates. 🙂
