Stuff I've built in the yard

I did this little gem a couple years ago, took me about three months part time. The hardest part was getting the platform built. It’s held on the tree with four tree bolts I fabbed, basically 14” of 1” dia threaded rod with a 2” dia x4” sleeve welded about half way, and countersunk into the tree. The struts are 4x4 with 3/4” threaded ends for leveling adjustment.

I built the walls on the ground and winched them up there with an atv winch mounted to the tree. Had to build the roof in place.

Then finished off the balcony.

Pretty fun build, we have a cot inside with a couple chairs. Great place to “camp out” when the weather’s right.

White oak? Tons of firewood!

And I want that bucket truck too. That is a beast.

7628 was my total. That included footers per spec and what little bit of grading they had to do and 32 yards total.
