so, this is coming down tomorrow

inherited a tree house when i bought my place that was well build and pretty cool that enhances an already spectacular view from the top of my mountain. only problem is the floor was done out of 3/4" OSB that was painted but it did not hold up to the winter moisture and is super squishy and could not be trusted. seldom do I have friends with kids over, but at least a few times kids would stop by with their folks and immediately wanted to visit the tree house. warned parents and told them that it was not sound to let their kids up into. always caused a breww-haha, tears and fits have been shed and thrown...


so i've decided to bring ir down. started by cutting the uppers of the 4 legs of the black oak that it was built on for tomorrow's splash, irrr crash down... got a crew of 4-5 coming by to film it, even will have a drone launched and filming. or, take it off me and to call EMS should it fall on me before the winch is running. have a plan to cut a single leg that forks and pull it down with a winch from the jeep, a snatch block and a couple straps. will leave the landing and 2x6 rungs in place to stabilize the thing while cutting the single leg before i drop that mofo..


will likely load a couple of the videos captured to my old youtube page that I will link. should be a smashing goodtime.
