making progress on modification to treehouse deck supports. i pulled down one of the supports "sistered" on a 14 foot 2'x10'horizontal so the support would span the entire deck and doubled up the supports that go down to the bottom lag bolt so the entire support is twice and strong. and possibly the most important modification - 2 1'x1' 3/8" steel plates now help reinforce the bottom of the support.
but how to get it back up since it weighs almost 200 pounds and i didn't want to almost nominate myself for another darwin award? i called in a crew to help! it took the four of us to pull up the support using a proper pulley and a "poor man's pulley" built by tossing a rope around one of the deck joists.
at one points someone ( not me ) exclaimed, "i didn't realize i have a phobia of standing under really heavy things that might fall and crush you." ah, well, fears were overcome and we relatively quickly got the support back on the top threaded rod that goes through the whole tree.
i have to admit that for the entire winter when i was contemplating taking down the supports i thought there was a good chance the whole deck would come crashing down or for some reason or another the support wouldn't go back in place. so to get it back in place was a tremendous relief.
thanks to joe, jason and david for the help!

I tried to take interior shots, but it was too dark and there were always things in the foreground that caught the flash and messed everything up. They could easily have made it roomier upstairs by closing in a little more of the floor but I don't think they want people hanging out in there (and if there were benches and more room, we might have).
This is a handicapped-accessible master bathroom. Normally, there would be a large bath/shower stall where the toilet is here, and the toilet would be off to the right in its own little cubby where the roll-in shower unit is here.
Inspired by the show, Treehouse Masters, I made a lucky minifig child an ultimate treehouse. Complete with a sink, coffee cup, arm chair, loft with writing nook, and amazing views.
The treehouse is modular in a sense that it can be split- truck and house- although a trunk runs throughout the whole structure.

The kids took apart part of our old deck and decided to use the lumber for an expansion to the treehouse. Here they are showing it off to their freind Claire.
Years ago, Horace Burgess prayed and received divine inspiration. He says that God told him "If you build me a treehouse, I’ll see you never run out of material." And so Horace built, and built, and built....
