    Default Badass Tree Houses

    We have a good bit of nice trees in our back yard that are on a very steep angled hill that looks over a 3 acre pond. I'm thinking of building a insulated, running water, tree house to make kind of my fun place to go. Never had one as a kid and I think It'd be neat to build one.

    I am almost finished building one for my 3 yr old grand baby. I have a lot of things I wish I would have done different but never a TV in a play house. She has 2 swinging bridges (one 20 ft & one 10 ft), hardwood floors, fireplace/heater, ceiling fan, dry erase board 2ft X 4ft, colored lights all through the front portion, flicker lights on each side of the fireplace, 5-6 slides all different sizes/types, rope climb, 4 swings, raised sand box, raised trampoline, a hand built 26ft slide and a good bit more. I am just 10 minutes from the Athens Mall if you ever care to come take a look and get a few ideas. The coolest part is where the 26ft slide is. That deck is 16X16 and elevated 14 feet in the air. I implemented my firing range from the top of it with loading tables, padded firing bars, 8X16 roof covering, chairs, flood lights for night shooting, ammo shelves, 2 side fans for summer shooting, ceiling fan for a cool breeze, over head lighting on each side for night time loading & prep and more. I have about 20k in materials for the entire build. Phase 5 starts in about a month which is a 12X22 Pirate ship with a foam pit, winch powered draw bridge, inside play/picnic area & a few other ideas I am still working on.

    I'd really love to see some pictures of this. I just want a man cave away from my house that I can get away to and sleep, fart, pee off the side, and my girlfriend not bitch about it.

    Agreed on needing some pictures of said setup. Not necessarily looking to build one but I am always interested in seeing things like that from an engineering standpoint.

    Remember mine is geared towards a 3 yr old except the firing range area.
