So my Granddaughter wanted a treehouse...

[Griffin]

. but with the way trees fall around here in storms I wasn't to keen on placing her in the boughs. So a treeless treehouse it would be.

Since I chose to compromise it had to be something REAL special so I decided to go pirate ship.



Now just not any pirate ship would work, it needs to be a wrecked ship (bow broken from stern).



Complete with climbing wall



and suspension bridge.



This is where I am so far. I still need to plank the bottom parts, make doors, the kids will walk the plank to the slide and swings will be on the broken over mast.

That is really awesome. I wish I had something like that growing up!

[Griffin]

When I started building it we told her it was going to be a shed..
...I don't think she believes that after this weekends additions.

[Dragoness_Cutie]

I would hope not!

I have some cool coach lamps that I adapted to solar to put on the porch.

This plaque for the door, this flag, and some awesome pirate booty for the christening party.

It doesnt look dangerous enough to be a real treehouse






























Some job you've done there........ you a joiner?

You must have missed the moat of bamboo spikes under the bridge.

Some job you've done there........ you a joiner?

I wish! There are plenty of nails in this beast.
I've always been intrigued by timber framing and log joinery and have helped build two log houses.
Maybe this will satisfy age old desire to build a sailboat.

That's just awesome! Good to see someone making something instead of just buying the cheap plastic crap. Are you having your Granddaughter help you?
