When my son was 5 I knew I wanted to have a fun place for him to play out back of our house. The obvious idea was to put in a swingset that would work and then languish over time. Instead of that my wife, mother, and I built a great treehouse over the course of three months. There were zero plans that were followed and completed dreamed up by the crayon drawings of my 5 year old, and me. It was hard work, hot days, and sometimes I didn’t think it would ever get done, but I enjoyed it so much that I ended up wanted to build a second a few years later!
