What a great time I had  working with B’fer, KaV, and Clint in the beautiful Northern California Redwoods building the Hobbit Treehoust for Gay and Mark!  You can see the complete episode on the DIY network on the “Treehouse Guys”.

Imagined and designed by Treehouse Nation and built by the artisans at Creative Carpentry, Tolson Construction and Murphy’s Touch!  Structural by Greenwood Engineering.

Here I am with the proud owner of this awesome treehouse! We had a few last minute details to complete and now it’s time to enjoy it!

The World Treehouse and Zipline Conference will once again be held at Michael Garnier’s wonderful treesort, Out ‘n About Treehouses in Cave Junction, OR.

This conference provides a once a year opportunity for everyone from novice to professional to get together to share and learn the latest about treehouse and zipline design and construction.  You can stay in one of Michael’s famous treehouses or campout.  This wonderful venue, the great food, and interesting people make this an outstanding event! John Shulters, president of Ascension Studios, will present an all day workshop on using technologic for treehouse design.  John presents easy to use photographic equipment and techniques that can be used to create digital 3D images of trees, which can in turn serve as the foundation for the treehouse designing process.  This creates a scale accurate framework for using various 3D modeling programs such as Sketchup and 3DSMax  to design your treehouse. Mike Shulters from Treehouse Nation will demonstrate treehouse design technique using 3D modeled trees.  There will be additional workshops and presentations on tree climbing skills and equipment, tree health evaluations, and treehouse building hardware.
