Tree Houses
A while back, I was given the incredible opportunity of designing and custom building a breathtaking treehouse for a local legendary racing hero. This changed the way I look at everything. Over the course of this project, it became abundantly clear to me that these types of projects (whether they be treehouses, man-caves/she sheds, or even tiny houses) that require old-world craftsmanship, along with laser focused attention to detail, are what I was meant to do.
Why does building a tree house make me jump out of bed in the morning? Because people are absolutely enchanted by tree houses. Just ask yourself this question, have you ever known anyone who doesn't fondly remember their childhood days long ago, hanging out in a tree house that they built from scraps they had on hand? A piece of plywood here, an old pallet there, and of course that stack of 2x4's left over from dad expanding the tool shed to fit the new lawn mower. That's right, they scrounged around for scraps all summer, then had the guts to go to that same tool shed and borrow their dad's hammer, hand saw, and a rope (everyone knows you need lots of rope for this), and proceeded to hoist everything into the backyard tree branches. Tacking it all together with a bunch of old rusty nails they found in a paint can. Seriously, is there anyone out there who wouldn't do it all again, if given the right opportunity, only this time make it the best tree house ever? The answer is "NO"...believe me, I've asked.
