Treehouse Project: Day 13 & 14, The Climbing Wall

September 23, 2007 by Danny Sullivan

Time to catch-up on the treehouse project. I left off with the roof completed, with the next major job being the climbing wall on the back. But first, a look at how it appeared before doing that: Here’s a closeup of the top, so you can better see the roof in place: We’ve since had […]

Treehouse Project: Days 11 & 12, Finishing The Roof

September 14, 2007 by Danny Sullivan

What’s going on with the treehouse project? An amazing number of people asked me about that. So let me catch up, and then I’ll do another post about how things are going with the climbing wall portion. First, I have to interrupt the construction tale with two pictures from my oldest son, who likes taking […]

Tree House: Day 7-9, Walls & The Second Floor

August 9, 2007 by Danny Sullivan

Building the tree house has continued! Though not today. There was too much work going on for me to sneak out for a brilliant sunny day that was beckoning me to do construction. And rain the day before. But over the weekend, lots and lots of work! Most of Day 7 was spent doing the […]

Tree House: Day 6, Adding Second Floor Frame

August 1, 2007 by Danny Sullivan

And the building a tree house project continues! Today, it was time to get the second floor frame up. With that in place, I’d have everything I needed to move along with the first floor walls. Putting up the frame meant lifting six heavy 2×8 pieces of wood over my head, plus making sure they […]

Tree House: Day 4 & 5

July 31, 2007 by Danny Sullivan

The treehouse construction continues! When I left off, I’d decided it made sense to build a little porch for the tree house but worried it needed more support. Indeed. When I pulled at the cross beam I’d hastily put up, it came off at the bottom quickly. Time to do it right! Last Sunday, marked […]

Treehouse Building: Day 3

July 27, 2007 by Danny Sullivan

Wow — I’m getting email asking what’s up with the treehouse! Cool, that’ll keep me motivated. So it’s been raining in Britain. Sure, it always rains — but it’s really raining a lot. You know, floods all around. Fortunately, we seemed to be one of the few parts of the country with rain but no […]

Tree House Building: Day 2

July 18, 2007 by Danny Sullivan

The great tree house building project continued on today. When I left off, there was the challenge of digging holes deep enough for my four supporting poles. I dug in, pun intended, this morning to make a serious dent in the ground. In the end, I utilized a small, obscure tool I forgot we had […]

My Great Tree House Building Project

July 18, 2007 by Danny Sullivan

I’m on vacation this week, which meant staying at home but trying not to do much work. Instead, my big project is to construct a long-promised tree house with my boys, for my boys. I’ve always wanted to build a tree house. Years and years ago at the Los Angeles Times, I even wrote an […]
