  • I managed to get out to the treehouse to film a quick camping video for this Thursday. We are about a week away from being out on the acreage for good, so things will smooth out and resume the typical upload schedule. Cheers to all and please hunker down and stay safe out there.

      If you watch his old documentary Boondocking, there's lots of background music and b-roll and the style is just very different. Great either way.

      Yep...the green treated decking boards I used horizontally on the walls of my treehouse shrank too once they dried out...have quarter inch gaps between all the boards...and they aren't even screwed to real trees (6" x 6" beams sunk into the ground vertically)...so I know the tree growth was a non factor. Besides, the trees moisture is in the roots during winter...so they're not growing right now.

Looked from my loft bed and thought well those Christmas lights way up the hill there look cool. Almost was asleep again when I realized that there was no window in that wall! Was so cold the birch logs shrunk and the moss chinking blew out in the high winds. I could put my hand through in places. Have a feeling the boards shrunk on you.

      Yeah, winter air is much drier than it seems, drys those boards out good and proper.
      Lots of ways to fix what he has there though. Ship lap is probably the way to do it. The bigger problem is the tarps and keeping the trees together, and hopefully the roof is good-to-go.

    As an experienced deer stand builder I can tell you that trees sway, and that is probably part of your structural problems. Just wait until you have leaves on the trees to catch the wind. Your four corners will twist and turn in some funky ways. If you really want to build a tree fort it sort of needs to float up in the tree, not totally secured in a typical fashion to a sturdy complete base. Good luck!
