My childhood fantasies come to fruition...

Stumbled upon this blog that had some tree houses that just make you want to pack a little bag and up and leave wherever you are, hike into the Fijian jungle and climb a tree. I remember as soon as the "tent building" phase of my childhood came to a close, I moved onto bigger and better ideas - treehouses. My "eco-friendly" father refused to let me hammer any nails into the trees, ugh. If I only was an apprentice to a Japanese joinery master, but this was not the case. My end product = a single 3 foot long 2x4 wedged in between the fork of the tree. I tied a rope to the tightly-wedged-single-piece-of-wood & would scale up to my "tree house." All I could do was sit in one position or I would fall off. Dreams can still come true thought, ya know. I mean, shit, I am an architect...right? I think I would need to build this dream myself, though, for principle's sake.
