Dave, what were you doing with the Spy005 while cutting the SS bar, measuring....????

Just adding scale to the picture. The 2" SS bar took three of us to carry onto the saw.

You are so rad. Where is the entranceway?

Dave, I still think you should not bother putting up the stairs now when you know you will be replacing them with an elevator soon anyway. Just put the elevator in now.
If you think an elevator is a bit much for a treehouse, then tone it down a little bit and run a cable car gondola directly from the deck behind the main house, past the pool directly to the treehouse.

Dave, the Ewok King!Could this be the start of a tree village?
Gimme a chainsaw, and I'll spare you the drilling!I would be starting on the stairs if greenHugger had not talked me out of drilling a thousand holes in the tree. :duh2::scowl::scowl::sick2::thinking:

Actually, I'm thinking run a rope bridge from the deck/pool area (or maybe OVER the pool somehow?) to the landing below the tree house proper. That would be cool! :naughty:
Really dumb question... what (if anything) would happen to occupants of the tree house if the tree itself were struck by lightning?
Will the inside remain as seen in the photos, or do you have plans to install some sort of flooring and/or other interior decor? Just curious. Heck, you've gone this far!
Really looking great, Dave!!
Into the tree? As in drilled in place? Tree dude here (not to be confused with tree hugger, though)... If you're planning on embedding those bars into the tree you're opening the tree to all sorts of diseases. Rotten wood is bad for tree houses, if you know what I mean. Then there's the issue of lateral bole growth (not to mention corrosion, etc.) slowly eating away into your bars, scarring changing wood physical properties, etc.
Maybe it'd be best if you anchored your spiral staircase to the base of the tree by the way of concrete bases and pillars going up and holding the staircase?
Anyway, just a random thought from your neighborhood tree dude.
