All luxury treehouses need utilities. Water, electric, sewer and gas….and eventually high-speed internet. This post is about some great progress that happened today on the first three items in the foregoing list. In the last post, I mentioned that the well finally hit water at 1,406 feet. Just to put that into perspective, that’s nearly…
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…
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday! We were fortunate that my daughter came into town for a few days and I got to take her to the site for the first time. It was nearing sunset, which was great because you can see in the pics how the sun lights up the valley…
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!

We met with our architect again this week to make some final changes to the design plans. The biggest change we made to the interior was to make the kitchen and entry way larger. We had to make a change to the entry to the house due to the height in the front. We thought,…
Big day today for the ZenTreehouse! Delinda and I met with the septic/well engineer (who is a geologist) and got the location for both squared away. Then we met with our architect and the structural engineer who will be figuring out how to get our treehouse 30′ in the air above the canopy of the…
Hi everyone, I haven’t posted anything lately because, well, we’ve been doing nothing but waiting on this to get done. I’m so happy to say that the Land Survey and Topography just arrived (after a six week wait)! The survey is required by the architect in order to start his work. We have to know where the…
