Got Tree House?

I moved into this home 4 years ago. The previous owners had kidlets and built, and left, a swing set and a tree house. As I had NO kidlets of the appropriate ages, and didn't want any more, I had no use for either.

My neighbors have two small boys (a third will arrive any day now, but he's too young to care) and they took the swing set. I tried to get them to take the tree house, but no luck. It was well built and would have taken a case of beer and 4 guys a bit of time, but it was made to stand alone. And would have made a great fort on short legs in their yard.

The tree house as it was.

Well, yesterday Straw Boss (above) Paco Belle, managed to get her friend Arlyn to come over and remove the tree house. It took no beer, lots of ropes, considerable know-how, one man, one Paco Belle, and lots of muscles, but he got the tree house out of the tree, onto his truck, and out of my yard all by himself. With the help of Paco Belle, too.


With strong ropes holding/suspending the tree house, Arlyn is removing the last leg of the house.











With the flat bed truck carefully (very carefully) backed between the fence and the tree, Arlyn lowers the tree house.
