Well the time has FINALLY come to start my treehouse build thread, It's been 2 years in the making, lots of pain, expense, heartbreak and sweat, and we have hardly even started yet!

The crew arrived last week and have been working in the ground mainly till now, so not much to show, but as of this point it will fly up so wanted to get the thread started, and will be adding to it every couple of days hopefully.

Ok so here are the very basic architects plans:

The crew have been busy out there all day so when they bugger off home i will take some more and update the thread this evening!

Looks interesting, do the water and waste pipes go up inside a fake supporting beam?

Probably up some brown piping on the back of one of the more hidden legs

Is this a guest suite? I'm assuming it's not your main house, cool as that would be. biggrin

Will form our new business, top end holiday lets/glamping/country retreats, we have planning for this and a subterranean hobbit home with living wildflower roof at the mo, that will come after the treehouse is done and bringing in money smile

Is that a wood stove in the living room area? Looks a nice design, I love the American and Canadian programmes about tree houses/log cabins etc.

Looks like an awesome project!

How big is it (sqft) and how long is the build time table?

Yes, log burning stove, underfloor heating, gas hot water, waterfall shower, copper bathtub at the foot of the king bed, pizza oven outside etc

If budget allows may even put a hot tub on the deck

I think its 75sqM total floorspace, someone told me

We are aiming to have it finished by mid-may, the building is actually already built and in panel form in a hanger around the corner, so will fly up now!

Didn't bother with amazing spaces, but I do have a rather large deal up my sleeves with a very large company wobble
