The Height Issue

I have to laugh a little about this posting. From the very beginning, we have been looking forward to getting pictures of us way up in the air working on the tree house. Well tomorrow is the day! We will begin roofing our tree house tomorrow and there is only a couple of problems with that.

1. The pitch is too steep to stand on.
2. Neither of us like heights.

Why did we decide this was a good idea? Oh yeah. It's a cool tree house!

The pictures we've posted so far don't really display the height very well. At the beginning of the bridge the tree house is ground level. At the front deck, it's about 10 feet above the ground. At the back door, the floor is about 15 feet above the ground and in the coffee tree we will be about 20 feet above the ground. The roof on the other hand is 19 feet above the ground at the closest point and close to 30 feet above ground at the highest peak.

As numbers go, that just doesn't mean too much. When you find yourself hanging out over the roof peak with shingles in one hand and a nail gun in the other while hanging on with your toes, it's something quite different.

We will get some pictures and maybe a video. Just no close ups to show how terrified we are. LOL (maybe)

We begin taking advanced reservations on Monday, July 21 for dates in September and beyond. We are offering very limited discounted advanced reservation rates of $100 per night while we are completing construction. Once they are gone, the price will be $189.
