first, some detail might be in helpful. the 11’x5’ treehouse movie theater screen hangs off the 2nd floor of the house and is attached at the top to the house soffit. there’s a 10 pound piece of metal conduit in a hem on the bottom of the screen to keep it even and flat. support ropes are linked to clamps that are attached to the bar to keep the bar from banging against the house when it gets windy.
recently, we had a couple days and nights with crazy winds and on one of those nights we could hear the treehouse movie theater screen banging against the side of the house. great. the winds were so strong they snapped the support lines on the bottom of the screen. but there was nothing to be done in the dark during 40mph gusts so we settled in for a night of listening to the banging.
but then it stopped. “huh.” i thought. “i guess the screen must have ripped apart and fallen down entirely."
not exactly. somehow a gust of wind got in the foot of so space between the screen and house and whipped it onto the roof and over the drain waste vent?! you can sort of see the metal conduit that runs along the bottom of the screen in this photo and how it had to make it up and over the vent.
it might be hard to visualize but if hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, i wouldn’t have thought it was possible.
i have to admit, lacking a 30 foot ladder, it took some time to figure out how to get myself perched on what is probably the most inaccessible section of our roof to try to get the bar back over the vent. i'm looking down on the treehouse movie theater deck which itself is 15 feet off the ground.
Here's the 'waterfall' by the children's treehouse. I think the water is flowing out of a tunnel from part of a disused railine. If I was still a kid I'd be playing there all the time!
We stayed in a beautiful treehouse for one night

Have you ever been to a place that is so magical it feels like another world entirely?
TreeHouse Point is that place for me.
As a child I could scale any tree and would beg for a treehouse but my dad never relented. So when I saw this place it was a childhood dream realized. These are artistic, individual, fantastic little living spaces. You can spend the night in most of them! The photos of this place I've posted here hardly scratch the surface. I encourage you to at the very least take a tour of this stunning, magical property full of unique treehouses. There are many woodland paths, little rustic bridges, the most beautiful bubbling river full of smooth rocks, a gorgeous main lodge--the entire place feels like a fairyland or something out of Lord of the Rings or some such fantasy book or movie.
The experience is hardly one I can properly sum up. You must experience it for yourself.

"Designed by Yestermorrow founder, John Connell, in conjunction with Forever Young Treehouses, this universally accessible treehouse is one of the first of its kind. It was designed to have minimal straight edges so that it would blend into its surroundings. The treehouse was built by students, staff, interns
and volunteers from 2000-2006. Inside the treehouse is a handmade hammock and furniture made in the Youth Design/Build class."
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 lucky minifig, Jimmy, is now the king of his town's youngsters!
The treehouse on South Briggs St. in Old Town Erie has a warning sign that reads: "Posted: No trespassing, video & audio high resolution surveillance in use 24/7, violators will be prosecuted, if you are within 10 feet of this sign you are being recorded." ...sheesh!
