some very worthwhile tips: leaning the ladder and using the speed square for the bird mouths; allowing the steps to pivot before final assembly; and the gate latch release. nice.
I can’t take credit for all of those. As they say, I stood on the shoulders of giants. But that gate latch release was an original idea that I was pretty proud of.
This was a great series. I'm thinking of building a tree house and this really helped me see what it practically entails. Also, what's the music in the last few episodes. It sounds really familiar and I'm sure I've heard it before. Thanks. Peter Edlund
@@ChrisMavik ok I appreciate it. I am making a very similar tree house just a little bigger. 8 x 12 on 12 by 15 platform. That was the closest 2 trees i have on my property!! Lol. I have followed alot yiur steps! Love the videos!! I am not sure if I can post pictures on comments here but if I can I will. I am about half way. Kids are really excited! Thanks again!!!
Our house isn’t actually air tight. The windows/doors are open; and there are open air spaces between the rafters so plenty of air flow. Never had any condensation on the inside.

The ladder idea is clutch
Thanks! It was a fun problem to solve.

Glad you enjoyed it. I think all the music throughout the series was all stock sounds from iMovie. Good luck with your build!
Love all the tips! How wide did you make your stairs? Thanks
I can’t remember exactly, but looking at the video I’m guessing maybe 20”-24”.

@@SharkBytesKnox that’s awesome. Good luck on the home stretch. I don’t think you can post pictures here, at least I’m not sure how to do that.
I have the same polycarbonate roof.How did you stop condensation on polycarbonate roofing?
