I ran across this photo of a tree house. I would love to have one to take me back to my childhood. As a kid, mine was never this nice. Mine was built out of whatever my brother and I could find laying around on the ranch, but had fun with it anyway. [smiley=laugh.gif]
Cool, southernsis. I liked to climb trees as a kid. We had big ol' alders in Oregon.
One time my cousin and I climbed way up in the top of one and called my little brother who was down on the ground to check out the rain falling from the tree.
I guess that probably wasn't nice. :'(
No child left behind started shortly after this, if I recall correctly. :-/
Glenn, that wins best post of the week in my book. I have three small kids and can easily pick the one that would be making the rain. Thanks for the laugh.
Glenn,
I grew up in Oregon also. Near a town call Canby. My brother also like to make rain fall from the trees. That happened until my dad walked under the tree at the wrong time.
Woops! :D
I was from Rose Lodge/ Otis area. Widow Creek Road to be exact.
Cool - now I don't feel like the Lone Ranger - or should that be the Lone Rainer. :-?
Nothing like the wrong person being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unless 3 wrongs make a right. :-/

My pleasure -- what good are trees if you can't have a little fun in them. :)
Now when I tell the story at family get togethers I have to kid him a bit by pretending to be him wiping the rain out of his eyes, looking up, and saying "What? What do you want?"
Tut tut, looks like rain. :)
This German outfit is into treehouses bigtime:

The website use to show more completed models, and actual construction photos. Guess too much info was at risk.
There is quite a bit there if you start checking out the links. Lots of modernistic tree houses. Pretty cool stuff.
