Treehouse building BEGINS this week!!

This week--on Friday--is the week that we begin building our first treehouse.  It will be a small one that will be a year-round treehouse, and it will serve as my writing studio.  It will be 25 feet up our big Sequoia Tree.  Michael Murphy--treehouse builder and friend--will be coming down this weekend to help put up the main platform for the treehouse.  This is the most difficult and important part of building long-lasting treehouses that are friendly to the trees.  I have a whole blog dedicated to the treehouses.  Check this out for regular updates on the our treehouse building!

Oh, and yes, this is ONE tree!  The treehouse will be nestled in between all those trunks (after some of the smaller branches are cleared out to make space).  We're only taking a three-day break from house renovation, and I won't complete the treehouse until later in the fall or winter, but we are putting up the platform while we have good weather--and while Michael has time to come down and help put this up.  A huge thanks to Michael!
