Water….Drilling the Well

The Building Process, UncategorizedBy ZenDecember 23, 2018

So, we knew when we bought the land that we would have to drill a well. We also knew that drilling a well was not something that was 100% guaranteed to be successful. When we talked to the drilling company, they talked about “witching” a well and that it was the best way to find…

Driveway Retaining Wall Poured and Complete – Next Step: Backfill

The Building ProcessBy ZenOctober 27, 2018

The retaining wall for the driveway is poured and is curing. Next step will be backfill. Then we’ll be able to finally get a sense for how the entryway to the treehouse will look in reality. Can’t wait to see that next week!

Footers and Framing for the Retaining Wall for the Driveway Installed

The Building ProcessBy ZenOctober 25, 2018

Great progress on a big part of the project – a massive concrete retaining wall that will hold back the driveway so that it is wide enough for what we need in terms of parking and the crane that will arrive in the spring to begin moving the structural steel. You can see how the…

Meeting at the Site with the Architect and Builder

The Design ProcessBy ZenNovember 12, 2017

Great meeting today at the site with the architect and builder today. The weather was perfect and we decided on the location for the two platforms – one for the main treehouse and the other for the second bedroom/bath/deck treehouse. We already filed the well permit, which takes 4-6 weeks. We’ve already talked to the…

A Very Unique Alternative to Airbnb – PlansMatter

The Design Process, UncategorizedBy ZenOctober 30, 2017

I just learned about this site called PlansMatter. This site provides access to a very limited number of architectural gems across the world. We hope that our ZenTreehouse will qualify for this site! Here are a few of my favorites…  

Considering adding a Steam Sauna…

The Design ProcessBy ZenOctober 29, 2017

I think that it would be awesome to have a steam sauna located away from the house, in a grove of trees, for guests to enjoy on a cool summer night or a cold winter’s day. What do you think? https://almostheaven.com/barrel-sauna/
