Big, Bad Treehouse

A rope ladder would separate the men from the boys with this thing.

Figuratively...because your "boys" could do it (knots or not), and most of us BARFers could only sit on the ground and cry.

You are a man of many talents...your boys are damn lucky!

Andy that treehouse will be the death of me ;)

Beautiful craftsmanship as usual from you. :hail
 
:drool

Great job! :applause

I very much hope that I get to live in a tree house someday. Your kids will tell you in 20 years that this was the coolest thing they have ever had. You'll know, in your heart, that there isn't a scintilla of sarcasm in their gratitude. Fuck yeah.
 
Thanks for the appreciation, everybody. It's safe to say I've had a fit of inspiration this summer and it's been fun to share this with you a bit. EjGlows' comment below reminds me of a related story.

During the weekend of the Perseid meteor shower, when I went to the hot spring, I ran into a couple who had the same idea to soak in the spring while soaking up the show. The fellow was a pretty interesting guy, and is a biologist working in Yosemite presently.

Somewhere in the conversation, I had mentioned the tree house and we had also talked about music and improvisation. He told me that some years ago he lived on Hawaii (can't recall which island) and lived with a Swede in a hut in the jungle. There was a tree house nearby, very high on a slope, with a killer view of the ocean. He and the Swede used to climb up there and each bring a drum. Perhaps some herbal creativity supplements were involved too. He said they drummed for eight hours, each feeding off the other in an extended improvisational dialog.

Being someone who very much loves improvisational music, I could relate. It sounded like a pretty incredible experience and the guy himself described it as in the top five experiences of his life.

was there nakedness, frolicking, and essential oils involved with their drum sesh?

Some questions don't need to be asked because you already know the answer.

A VERY few questions satisfy both requirements. Yours is such a question.
