Inaugural Entry

I'm going to build a treehouse, damn it. Not a couple of planks nailed to a dead oak in my parent's backyard, nor a regular house on stilts, but a full-on friggin' treehouse that has a circular staircase curling around the trunk to the front door, limbs growing in the midst of the living room, a zip-line to bedroom, a balcony overlooking the forest floor below, a fireman's pole for quick escapes, a rope swing from the deck to river, a pot-bellied stove huffing and puffing its way to warmth in the winter, cozy little nooks carved and twisted into the arms of nature. A real TREEHOUSE just like I always dreamed of, except now I'm really going to do it.

This blog will initially be collecting links to interesting treehouse and treehouse related things I find on the web and elsewhere, to give me ideas. Later, it will document the construction of my treehouse. Later still, I will post pictures of my treehouse and you will be jealous because you will want treehouses of your own. Well, you can have one of your own, or you can come visit mine. I promise not to post a "No Girls Allowed" sign on my treehouse.
