New California wine country treehouse underway!
A great new treehouse project is underway near Healdsburg, CA in the beautiful Alexander Valley wine country. Design by Michael Shulters of Treehouse Nation and tree modeling by John Shulters of Ascension Studios. Dan Wright from Treetop Builders and his great crew from Pennsylvania have joined us to round out our expert team! A special Thanks to Dan Murphy of Murphy Touch, Inc. who expertly took care of the steel work welding and fabrication today.
Check out our progress over the first 2 days as we get the support structure and large beams in place. A lot of creativity was required to move the beams into position and get the placement just right.
Stay tuned over the next 2 weeks to watch this treehouse take shape!.
