Why build a treehouse?

Nature - being close to it and our past.

What is my inspiration for this project? Nature. I have always loved to be outside, in the woods and surrounded by all things natural. The beauty is immense. It will rejuvenate you. It can heal your physical and mental health. Ever seen a depressed bird? We are all creatures of our surroundings. I am happiest when I am outside, during the day or night. The air is cleaner, the views are incredible and the plants and animal are fascinating and spectacular from the smallest to the largest. Being close to this just always recharged my batteries.

When I was kid growing up in southern Ohio, I was fortunate enough to live near farms with tree lined windbreaks between the fields. In these fields when I was ten my friends and I would build forts. First on the ground then, ultimately our first treehouse. The first not much more than a deck between three trees. A couple feet off the ground but so so cool to build your first tree structure.
