In the early afternoon of New Years Eve, my Dad wanted to tear down the tree house in our back yard that has fallen in dis-repair for the last...2-3 years. We've had it up since I was in Middle School and it was time to tear down a piece of our childhood, just like we did with the rotting swing set earlier this summer. Now for some photos

the pieces of the treehouse have been piled up against the old play set in the back. This will all be taken out next summer when Dad and I re-roof our house.

The first floor is all what remains

Yes, we live on the edge of danger when it comes to these things. We were surprise the thing just didn't give way and collapse.

the treehouse provided a nice lookout to Pleasant View Rd

One of the primary reasons why the treehouse is no longer safe.

Craig, you had a tree house? That is so cool! I had never one! I wanted one as a kid, but my dad never built one for me! However, looks like you had a good time, tear down the tree house!

(please tell me she's not 12 or anything!)

 

Finally... someone came out and said it. I think she's like Craig's twin sister... I think.

 

HAHAHA. Ok, she is actually 23, shorter than me, yes does look like me a bit, and has a b/f. Remind me never to introduce her to you guys. lol

I must say that you have lot of will and skill to build these cool tree houses. When I was young, I gave it a though couple of time but then it was too much work that I could never get started with this idea.
