Saul's Treehouse Plans

It was kind of weird to see Dani-Hermit's blog article on treehouses. The eldest boy and I are planning on building one this summer. We have a couple of real neat books about how to build tree homes, not tree houses. I do happen to have a bunch of windows, boards, a pack of shingles and many jars of nails. Note: In the drawing, the things with triangles at the ends are dimension lines.

Saul will finish this:
"I'm planning on it to be 18 feet wide and 6 feet tall and it will have 8 rooms and a big hallway and a closet. It will have a rope ladder. There will be two doors and a dozen windows. To sit on there will be benches, cots, and chairs. There might be a woodstove hooked up to a brick chimney. It will be painted my favorite shade of red with a little deck outside. It is going to have a shingle roof, a smooth wooden floor and I think that's it."

Hey, how's the expression? Anything that's worth doing is worth doing right?

I'd hate to pay your electric bill, though! The Air Con in the summer would be enough to kill anyone! And the chandeleirs! Maybe you could use those really bright lights that are better for the environment . . . .

(BTW- how in the heck does a person spell chandel-ears?)

umm, ok... that is more precious than gold and Saul just may be planning an intergalactic takeover, you may want to check for blueprints under his bed... just what is his favorite shade of red? curious minds want to know..
A, i believe it's chandelier, or sniveling drivel, something like that.

Wow...that plan sounds better than our bank! I never had a tree house. When it's all built I'd like to see it!
