Treehouse Living

Scattered

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how many treehouses there are all over town, given how damn cool they are. I found this one in Magnolia in Seattle and I've seen a couple since.

On other news, I've been e-mailing with a realtor about property to build my treehouse. He works at Greenworks Realty, they specialize in "green" properties (solar, greenhouses and the like). Treehouses, too, maybe then?

* Andrew Thurnheer, 45, was elected in January as the highway
superintendent in Danby, N.Y., even though he still lives with his
parents. He doesn't sleep in his old bedroom, though; he sleeps in
his tree house, 40 feet up, which he built nearly 20 years ago, and
which has a generator-powered elevator, a shower, and a propane
heater, according to a January Associated Press dispatch. (Mr.
Kapila Pradhan, also 45, has also been living in a tree, for the past
15 years, but that is in a village in Orissa state in India. He sought
solitude after a fight with his wife, according to a January BBC
News dispatch.) [WTSP-TV-AP, 2-2-06; Ithaca Journal, 1-5-06]
