Tree houses never captured our imagination as they do today. This is true particularly for the children. Treehouses symbolize freedom. Have you ever felt how lifting it is for our spirits and inspiring for dreams? We know we can't fly with the birds, but at least we can build a nest like them! I think building a treehouse and spending a few nights behind the leaves could be a great pastime activity for families. True, it's going to be the most exciting adventure for your kid, that too, right at your backyard.
Imagine going to sleep with the birds and waking up to their songs. Instead of indulging in rampant consumerism at theme parks breaking the bank with a beach trip, this is a better idea to please your kids!
For starters, Tree Houses You can Build by David R Stiles and Jeanie Stiles can be a very good guide to start building your own treehouse. The best part is that you don't have to be carpenter at all! In the book, the authors explain the basic building procedures through clear, simple instructions and non-technical line drawings, explaining every step, from the earliest sketches to the final cedar shingle. Even the safety issues have been considered. Isn't it then time to start building our treehouses!?
