Today's Deere project, tree house

[plastikosmd]

Well, more of a deck in the sky, set up at 50 yrd line on my range. Will be good to shoot from, also adding a climbing wall and zip line for niece/nephews. I don't plan to add an enclosure, will just pop a tent up there to camp in or play in when they are up. Got 3 of the 5 poles in today. Deck will be 16x16 or so.

Poles are 25-30 ft

To wide for trail, so used the arch

3 done, gonna be high for some 7 yr olds. Wish I had it when I was that age

Will be interesting to watch this project unfold.

Nice log arch you have there. Looks to be real handy for moving logs.

My son found 2-15 foot poles for me. I am waiting for the next 2 so I can start a project like this one on my Georgia land.

Beautiful place you have there. Great to bring up a family.
Don't see many of the trike Honda's. Neighbor friend has one.. and it is a good runner.

Great for my extended family, just a wife and 2 cats for me. Frankly I'm not sure if I own the cats

More progress.


Wife saw me doing this.

( I have angle iron on ram but still a pita)


Bought me this!

42 ft operating height, 32 ft extension. Honda power. Great little unit

I think I will try jumping out of a plane next, maybe get a jet?

Old pictures still posted. Neat project. Want to build my kids a tree house, if I can find a good place to do so.... close enough to the house to keep momma happy, and still be in a tree... (momma a bit over protective! )

Getting less deere oriented, sry
Update
Upper deck done

Even wife came out to "help"

 

[JPRambo]

My son came through. I now have 4 15 foot poles. And I am going to Georgia Thursday with them and other stuff. May take the post hole digger and plant them if I get time. Only get a 6 day weekend off. It takes me 10-12 hours to drive there.
