Some friends of mine and myself have begun a project that's been a little while in the planning, we started building our very own, adult-sized treehouse. We wanted somewhere to get away from the world, back to nature and live simply. Yes, we've read Nick Weston's 'The Treehouse Diaries' and I know he splits opinions fairly firmly on forums such as this. But we found some aspects of his book very useful, not least as inspiration to actually get our bums in gear and go ahead with the project! It's not for long term living, just a weekend escape for when the world gets too much.
I'm in the process of making a wood burning stove similar to his at the moment, and we're yet to work out things like water and waste. We'll probably go with a couple of caravaning style 'Roll-a-barrel's for water supply as we're not very far from the landowners house and a composting toilet.
Anyway, we've got a blog going here: http://ourplaceinthetrees.blogspot.co.uk/
We started our build over the bank holiday weekend and will continue as an when we can get weekends together. We hope to do build weekends every 6 weeks or so, so it should be finished just in time for winter! haha!
I hope this is in the correct board, didn't quite know where to post it.
