Treehouse!!

For those of you who don’t know how amazing my husband it, here is a glimpse.

He has almost single-handedly remodeled our house, room by room, over the last 7 years.

We still have a few more projects in the house, but he was persuaded to work outside this time on a treehouse for our kids.

I always wanted a treehouse as I was growing up and never got the chance to have one, so when he told our kids last year that he would build one for them, I made him deliver on that promise!

It took him a bit longer than expected because he is a perfectionist and a beautiful designer, so it evolved as he built it.

But, the end result was definitely worth it. The kids are thrilled and I am so proud of him.

I documented the process with my iphone, but took some final photos with my good camera, both at night and daytime.

Enjoy!

Buying more wood for the project.

Painting!

And the final shots!
